Formation of ortho-benzoquinone from sodium benzoate by Pseudomonas mendocina P2d.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pseudomonas mendocina P2d grew in sodium benzoate at as high as 1% concentration and formed a quinonoid compound, identified as ortho-benzoquinone, that rendered the medium orange to wine-red in colour. The quinone was not metabilised further by the organism. Sodium benzoate was converted to catechol, which was a central metabolite forming ortho-benzoquinone and 2- hydroxymuconic semialdehyde (2-HMS) via. meta ring cleavage pathway.

A spectrophotometric method for the quantification of an enzyme activity producing 4-substituted phenols: determination of toluene-4-monooxygenase activity.
A spectrophotometric method for the quantitative determination of an enzyme activity resulting in the accumulation of 4-substituted phenols is described in this article. Toluene-4-monooxygenase (T4MO) activity in whole cells of Pseudomonas mendocina KR1 is used to demonstrate this method. This spectrophotometric assay is based on the coupling of T4MO activity with tyrosinase activity. The 4-sub...

The tmoABCDEF genes encode the toluene-4-monooxygenase from Pseudomonas mendocina KR1. Upstream from the tmoA gene an open reading frame, tmoX, encoding a protein 83% identical to TodX (todX being the initial gene in the todXFC1C2BADEGIH operon from Pseudomonas putida DOT-T1E) was found. The tmoX gene is also the initial gene in the tmoXABCDEF gene cluster. The transcription initiation point fr...
متن کاملLoss of Tdn catabolic genes by deletion from and curing of plasmid pTDN1 in Pseudomonas putida: rate and mode of loss are substrate and pH dependent.
The ability to degrade aromatic amines and m-toluate (Tdn+ phenotype), encoded by plasmid pTDN1, was lost from Pseudomonas putida hosts after subculture in benzoate, succinate, acetate and glucose minimal medium, the fastest rate of loss occurring where benzoate was the substrate. Tdn- cells had either lost the entire pTDN1 plasmid or suffered a recombinational deletion of a specific 26 kbp reg...
متن کاملEffect of exogenous reductant on growth and iron mobilization from ferrihydrite by the Pseudomonas mendocina ymp strain.
Growth of the Pseudomonas mendocina ymp strain on insoluble ferrihydrite is enhanced by exogenous reductants with concurrent increase in soluble iron concentrations. This shows that exogenous reductants play a substantial role in the overall microbial iron bioavailability. The exogenous reductants may work together with the siderophores, Fe-scavenging agents, to facilitate ferrihydrite dissolut...
