<p>Disclosed are isolated nucleic acid molecules which comprise a phenylurea hydrolase (puhA) nucleotide sequence which encodes a phenylurea hydrolase obtainable from Coryneform bacterium Arthrobacter globiformis. The phenylurea hydrolase is capable of degrading herbicides such as diuron. A preferred hydrolase is shown in Annex (II). Also provided are related materials and methods such as transformed host cells (e.g. microbial cells) and plants. Such materials can be useful inter alia for bioremediation.</p> |
