glpA
glpA is a gene native to the bacterium Burkholderia psuedomallei (formerly Psuedomonas) that was found to confer resistance to glyphosate by Penaloza-Vazquez et al (1994). Glyphosate is the main active ingredient in many commercial herbicides. This gene is the first in our two gene system we consucted with the ultimate goal being the degradation of glyphosate. This gene was meant to increase the survivability of E. coli in the presence of glyphosate, based on the results reported by Penaloza-Vazquez et al (1994). The exact mechanism by which resistance to the molecule is increased isn't known, however.
