Summary
Phosphonate utilization is cryptic in K-12. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG10719]. PhnJ appears to be a component of a carbon-phosphorous lyase enzyme. phnJis part of an operon that is phosphate starvation-inducible and required for use of phosphonate and phosphite as phosphorous sources . [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG10719].
