title: Identification of the Geobacter metallireducens bamVW two-component system, involved in transcriptional regulation of aromatic degradation.
abstract: Regulation of aromatic degradation in obligate anaerobes was studied in the Fe(III)-respiring model organism Geobacter metallireducens GS-15. A two-component system and a sigma54-dependent promoter were identified that are both involved in the regulation of the gene coding for benzoate-coenzyme A ligase, catalyzing the initial step of benzoate degradation.
