    A GntR-like negative regulator of the biphenyl degradation genes of the transposon Tn4371

    Tn4371, a 55-kb catabolic transposon originally isolated from Ralstonia eutropha A5, carries genes for the degradation of biphenyl/4-chlorobiphenyl, which are clustered on a 13-kb DNA segment located in the midd...
