Microbial Transformation of Carbazole to Anthranilic Acid by Pseudomonas stutzeri.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study examined the microbial transformation of carbazole (CZ) by an isolated bacterium that can use CZ as a sole carbon and nitrogen source. The strain identified as Pseudomonas stutzeri produced a large amount of anthranilic acid (AA) from CZ in the medium containing a nonionic surfactant. In dialysis culture using ion-exchange resin, 7.9 g/liter (58mm) of AA was accumulated from 15g/liter (90mm) of CZ and the molar yield of AA reached about 64%.

Novel marine carbazole-degrading bacteria.
Eleven carbazole (CAR)-degrading bacterial strains were isolated from seawater collected off the coast of Japan using two different media. Seven isolates were shown to be most closely related to the genera Erythrobacter, Hyphomonas, Sphingosinicella, Caulobacter, and Lysobacter. Meanwhile, strains OC3, OC6S, OC9, and OC11S showed low similarity to known bacteria, the closest relative being Kord...
متن کاملPseudomonas stutzeri and related species undergo natural transformation.
Cells of Pseudomonas stutzeri are naturally transformed by homologous chromosomal DNA; they do not require chemical treatment to become competent. This capacity to undergo natural transformation was found to be shared by the closely related species P. mendocina, P. alcaligenes, and P. pseudoalcaligenes, but was not detectable in strains of P. aeruginosa, P. perfectomarinus, P. putida, P. fluore...
متن کاملEnzymatic Formation of Catechol from Anthranilic Acid.
Anthranilic acid is known to be formed from kynurenine in animals and microorganisms (3-6) and to be degraded by cell-free extracts of a Pseudomonas species adapted to L-tryptophan (7). Catechol has been postulated as an intermediate in the catabolism of anthranilic acid on the basis of experiments utilizing sequential enzyme induction (8). Several groups of investigators have recently succeede...

متن کاملType IV pilus genes pilA and pilC of Pseudomonas stutzeri are required for natural genetic transformation, and pilA can be replaced by corresponding genes from nontransformable species.
Pseudomonas stutzeri lives in terrestrial and aquatic habitats and is capable of natural genetic transformation. After transposon mutagenesis, transformation-deficient mutants were isolated from a P. stutzeri JM300 strain. In one of them a gene which coded for a protein with 75% amino acid sequence identity to PilC of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an accessory protein for type IV pilus biogenesis, wa...
