Finished Genome Sequence of the Indole-3-Acetic Acid-Catabolizing Bacterium Pseudomonas putida 1290

Abstract

Use of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) as a carbon, nitrogen, and energy source by Pseudomonas putida 1290 is linked to the possession of a gene cluster that codes for conversion to catechol. Here, we present the genomic context of this iac gene cluster, which includes genes for IAA chemotaxis/transport and catechol catabolism.
