Mapping of the loci involved in the catabolic oxidation of L-hydroxyproline in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO

Abstract
Genes specifying the oxidative utilization of hydroxyproline (Hyp) in P. aeruginosa PAO were located on the chromosome, around 19th minute by conjugation experiments. A map order of his-68-his-07-Hyp was assigned. Confirmation of this gene order was also demonstrated by transductional mapping studies. All the genes determining the enzymes of Hyp dissimiliatory pathway were closely linked.
