Identification of two catalases in Azotobacter vinelandii: a KatG homologue and a novel bacterial cytochrome c catalase, CCCAv.

abstract：:The hemA gene of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, which encodes the first enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway, is regulated by oxygen. Up to ninefold induction of beta-galactosidase activity is seen when cultures of B. japonicum containing either a plasmid-encoded or a chromosomally integrated hemA-lacZ fusion are shifte...
