Oxidation of Polychlorinated Biphenyls by 'Pseudomonas' sp. Strain LB400 and'Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes' KF707

摘要

Biphenyl-grown cells and cell extracts prepared from biphenyl-grown cells ofPseudomonas sp. strain LB400 oxidize a much wider range of chlorinated biphenyls that do analogous preparations from Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes KF707. These results are attributed to differences in the substrate specificity of the biphenyl 2,3-dioxygenases from both organisms. (Copyright (c) 1993, American Society for Microbiology.)
