Disease relevance of coxL

In Pseudomonas carboxydovorans OM5 coxL, M and S were identified on the plasmid pHCG3; they were absent on the chromosome [1].

High impact information on coxL

Genomic DNA extracts from four sites at Kilauea Volcano were used as templates for PCR amplification of the large subunit (coxL) of aerobic carbon monoxide dehydrogenase [2].
The genes coxL, M and S were found on plasmids in all other plasmid-containing carboxydotrophic bacteria e.g. Alcaligenes carboxydus, Azomonas B1, Pseudomonas carboxydoflava, Pseudomonas carboxydovorans OM2 and OM4 [1].
Employing deoxyoligonucleotide probes and Southern hybridizations, we have examined in carboxydotrophic bacteria the localization on the genome of genes encoding the large, medium and small subunits of CO dehydrogenase (coxL, M and S, respectively) [1].
