| isolation and characterization of altered plasmids in mutant strains of pseudomonas putida ncib 9816. | the ability of p. putida ncib 9816 to grow with naphthalene (nah+) and salicylate (sal+) is correlated with the presence of an 83 kilobase (kb) conjugative plasmid, pdtg1. derivatives of pdtg1 were obtained from cells after exposure to halogenated analogs of naphthalene or salicylate. the selection of mutants having a nah-sal- or a nah-sal+ phenotype could be enhanced by the addition of triphenyltetrazolium chloride to the indicator medium. structurally modified plasmids were characterized by re ... | 1989 | 2684156 |
| physically associated enzymes produce and metabolize 2-hydroxy-2,4-dienoate, a chemically unstable intermediate formed in catechol metabolism via meta cleavage in pseudomonas putida. | the meta-cleavage pathway of catechol is a major mechanism for degradation of aromatic compounds. in this pathway, the aromatic ring of catechol is cleaved by catechol 2,3-dioxygenase and its product, 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde, is further metabolized by either a hydrolytic or dehydrogenative route. in the dehydrogenative route, 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde is oxidized to the enol form of 4-oxalocrotonate by a dehydrogenase and then further metabolized to acetaldehyde and pyruvate by the act ... | 1989 | 2681159 |
| bacterial aromatic ring-cleavage enzymes are classified into two different gene families. | dioxygenases that catalyze the cleavage of the aromatic ring are classified into two groups according to their mode of ring fission. substrates of ring-cleavage dioxygenases usually contain hydroxyl groups on adjacent aromatic carbons, and intradiol enzymes cleave the ring between these two hydroxyl groups. extradiol enzymes in contrast cleave the ring between one hydroxylated carbon and its adjacent nonhydroxylated carbon. in this study, we determined the complete nucleotide sequence of nahc, t ... | 1989 | 2670937 |
