benK encodes a hydrophobic permease-like protein involved in benzoate degradation by Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1

LS Collier, NN Nichols and EL Neidle
Department of Microbiology, University of Georgia, Athens 30602, USA.

The chromosomal benK gene was identified within a supraoperonic gene cluster involved in benzoate degradation by Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1, and benK was expressed in response to a benzoate metabolite, cis,cis-muconate. The disruption of benK reduced benzoate uptake and impaired the use of benzoate or benzaldehyde as the carbon source. BenK was homologous to several aromatic compound transporters.
