Abstract
The gene (bzl) encoding benzaldehyde lyase (BL) from Pseudomonas fluor escens biovar I has been cloned and characterized. The nucleotide sequ ence contains an open reading frame encoding a protein of 563 amino ac ids. The deduced BL protein shares little homology with proteins conta ined in the NBRF-PIR data bank. However, the higher homologies (up to about 28%) were obtained with enzymes that also utilize thiamine pyrop hosphate as a cofactor.
