5-HYDROXYMETHYLFURFURAL OXIDIZING BACTERIUM AND DETERMINATION OF 5-HYDROXYMETHYLFURFURAL USING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain Pseudomonas sp.S-17 strain extremely high in oxidation efficiency, capable of simply determining the amount of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural contained in a specimen, by possession of ability of specifically oxidizing 5- hydroxymethylfurfural. ;SOLUTION: This bacterium has ability of specifically oxidizing 5- hydroxymethylfurfural. This Pseudomonas sp.S-17 strain (FERM P-16,099) can be used for determining 5-hydroxymethylfurfural. A variant derived from the strain has also ability of specifically oxidizing 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1998,JPO
