Aerobic catabolism of isobutylene by <i>Mycolicibacterium</i> sp. ELW1 requires inducible, plasmid-borne <i>ibc</i> genes
-butyl ether (MTBE) biodegradation pathway. The plasmid localization, gene organization, and gene induction pattern shown here provide insights into the role of large catabolic plasmids in the aerobic catabolism of gaseous alkenes.
