    Abstract

    The toluene dioxygenase genes from Pseudomonas pufida NCIMB 11767 were isolated by PCR amplification from recombinant plasmid, p1/1. The genes were subcloned into pUC18 and pKK223-3 and expressed under the lac and tac promoters, respectively. In both cases, toluene cis-glycol was produced, with higher levels of product formation when the genes were expressed from the tac promoter.
