Genes involved in the 4-aminobenzenesulfonate (4-ABS) degradation pathway of Hydrogenophaga sp. PBC were identified using transposon mutagenesis. The screening of 10 000 mutants for incomplete 4-ABS biotransformation identified four mutants with single transposon insertion. Genes with insertions tha...
