The LysR orchestrates expression of dibenzofuran catabolic genes in a dioxins-degrader Rhodococcus sp. by direct handling and coordinating with LuxR solo

Key Points

• Expression of dibenzofuran catabolic genes is driven by LysR, underlining its regulatory role in biodegradation.
• LysR interacts directly with LuxR, highlighting a unique mechanism of gene expression regulation in dioxin degradation.
• The observed regulation enhances the metabolic capabilities of Rhodococcus sp., facilitating effective degradation of environmental pollutants.
• Insights into LysR’s role could inform strategies for bioremediation of dibenzofuran and related compounds.
