Amino Acid Racemization in Pseudomonas putida KT2440

Amino acid racemization in Pseudomonas putida KT2440.

D-Amino acids have been shown to play an increasingly diverse role in bacterial physiology, yet much remains to be learned about their synthesis and catabolism. Here we used the model soil- and rhizosphere-dwelling organism Pseudomonas putida KT2440 to elaborate on the genomics and enzymology of d-amino acid metabolism. P. putida KT2440 catabolized the d-stereoisomers of lysine, phenylalanine, ...

Dynamics of benzoate metabolism in Pseudomonas putida KT2440

Soil microorganisms mineralize lignin-derived aromatic carbon sources using oxidative catabolic pathways, such as the β-ketoadipate pathway. Although this aromatic pathway is one of the best-studied pathways in biochemistry, the complete pathway, including its regulation by aromatic carbon sources, has not been integrated into the metabolic network. In particular, information about the in vivo ...
