Comamonas testosteroni (formerly Pseudomonas sp.) NCIMB 10643 can grow on biphenyl and alkylbenzenes $(C_2-C_7)$ via 3-substituted catechols. Thus, to identify the genes encoding the degradation, transposon-mutagenesis was carried out using pAG408, a promoter-probe mini-transposon with a green fluorescent protein (GFP), as a reporter. A mutant, NT-1, which was unable to grow on alkylbenzenes and biphenyl, accumulated catechols and exhibited an enhanced expression of GFP upon exposure to these substrates, indicating that the gfp had been inserted in a gene encoding a broad substrate range catechol 2,3-dioxygenase. The genes (2,826 bp) flanking the gfp cloned from an SphI-digested fragment contained three complete open reading frames that were designated bphCDorfl. The deduced amino acid sequences of bphCDorfl were identical to 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase (BphC), 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2,4-dienoate hydrolase (BphD), and OrfI, respectively, that are all involved in the degradation of biphenyl/4-chlorobiphenyl (bph) by Ralstonia oxalatica A5. The deduced amino acid sequence of the orfl revealed a similarity to those of outer membrane proteins belonging to the OmpW family. The introduction of the bphCDorfl genes enabled the NT-l mutant to grow on aromatic hydrocarbons. In addition, PCR analysis indicated that the DNA sequence and gene organization of the bph operon were closely related to those in the bph operon from Tn4371 identified in strain A5. Furthermore, strain A5 was also able to grow on a similar set of alkylbenzenes as strain NCIMB 10643, demonstrating that, among the identified aromatic hydrocarbon degradation pathways, the bph degradation pathway related to Tn4371 was the most versatile in catabolizing a variety of aromatic hydrocarbons of mono- and bicyclic benzenes.

양송이버섯 재배 후 문제가 되고 있는 폐상퇴비는 다음 버섯 재배의 촉박성 때문에 폐상하여 재배사 주변에 방치하는 경우가 많으며, 이들은 병해충 및 수질오염의 원인이 됨으로 신속한 처리가 필요하다. 폐상된 양송이재배 부산물에는 형광성 Pseudomonas속, 방선균 등 다양한 미생물이 분포하였고, 양송이 재배농가별로 폐상퇴비 중의 미생물상 차이가 많았다. 폐상퇴비에서 분리한 세균들은 토마토 시들음병균. 풋마름병균에 대해 길항성을 보였다. 농가별 양송이 폐상퇴비의 이화학성은 pH는 $5.8{\sim}6.7$이었고, EC는 $316{\sim}528\;dS\;m^{-1}$로 농가마다 많은 차이를 보였고, T-N의 농도는 $151{\sim}1.99%$, $P_2O_5$은 $0.27{\sim}0.55%$, $K_2O$은 $1.71{\sim}3.57%$, CaO는 $1.79{\sim}5.85%$, MgO는 $0.88{\sim}1.33%$였다. 양송이 폐상퇴비의 농가실증 시험결과 시기별 토마토의 생육과 당도는 농과관행퇴비 처리구와 뚜렷한 차이가 없었고 생육시기별 토양이화학성은 농가관행에 비해 EC와 K, Ca는 증가하였지만, 인산은 감소하였다. 처리별 토양미생물상의 변화에는 차이가 없었으며, 수량은 농가관행구에 비해 약간 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 풋마름병 발병률은 무처리에 비해 폐상퇴비 처리구에서 상대적으로 낮았다.
