Optimization, reconstruction and heterologous expression of the gene cluster encoding toluene/o-xylene monooxygenase from Pseudomonas stutzeri in Escherichia coli and its successive hydroxylation of toluene and benzene

Biological treatment is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly technique for treating toluene. However, this process is limited by the type and quantity of toluene degraders that can be applied to different environments and methods. It is a feasible solution to constructing new genetic engine...
