Biology of the Metabolically Diverse Genus Gordonia

The actinomycete genus Gordonia has attracted much interest in recent years for a variety of reasons. Most species were isolated due to their abilities to degrade xenobiotics, environmental pollutants, or otherwise slowly biodegradable natural polymers as well as to transform or synthesize possibly
