Catabolic oxygenases of aromatic compounds: Synteny between D. aromatica, P. mendocina, Burkholderia and R. eutropha. Orthologous gene clusters for P. mendocina, R. eutropha JMP134, Burkholderia JS150 and D. aromatica are shown. D. aromatica possesses two oxygenase gene clusters that are syntenic to the tbc 1 and 2 catabolic gene clusters of Burkholderia JS150, but with an inversion and insertion in the chromosome. Also shown are the tmo (toluene mono-oxygenase) toluene degradative cluster of P. mendocina and the tbc 1 & tbc 2-like (tcb: toluene, chlorobenzene, and benzene utilization) gene cluster of R. eutropha (VIMSS 896207–896222, Burkholderia protein names were used for consistency). The first seven orfs (encoding a tbc 1-like cluster) of R. eutropha JMP134 are orthologous to the PoxABCDEFG (phenol hydroxylase) and P0123456 genes of Ralstonia sp E2 and R. eutropha H16, respectively. Orthologs can be identified as having the same size and color scheme.
