Identification of Phenol-Degrading Gene Metapyrocatechase in Acinetobacter oleivorans Strain GSN15

An aerobic bacterial strain GSN 15 was isolated from Tehran oil refinery (Tehran Province,Iran). The strain was found to belong to Acinetobacter oleivorans according tomorphological, physiological and its 16S rRNA gene sequence. This strain was able todegrade hydrocarbons such as phenol. Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) –encoding gene wasdetected and amplified with the designed primers from the total DNA of Acinetobacteroleivorans.
