Abstract: Burkholderia spp. that degrade phthalate have an ABC transporter-type phthalate transport system (OphFGH) and a specific porin (OphP) in addition to a permease-type phthalate transporter (OphD). OphFGH has a lower K(m) and higher V(max) than OphD, which affects how the bacteria grow. OphP is involved in both mechanisms of transport.
