| genetic diversity of benzoyl coenzyme a reductase genes detected in denitrifying isolates and estuarine sediment communities. | benzoyl coenzyme a (benzoyl-coa) reductase is a central enzyme in the anaerobic degradation of organic carbon, which utilizes a common intermediate (benzoyl-coa) in the metabolism of many aromatic compounds. the diversity of benzoyl-coa reductase genes in denitrifying bacterial isolates capable of degrading aromatic compounds and in river and estuarine sediment samples from the arthur kill in new jersey and the chesapeake bay in maryland was investigated. degenerate primers were developed from t ... | 2005 | 15812036 |
