PRODUCTION OF 2,5-DIHYDROXYPYRIDINE AND MICROORGANISM FOR PRODUCING 2,5-DIHYDROXYPYRIDINE

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide a method for producing 2,5-dihydroxypyridine used as a raw material for agrochemicals, etc., and further to obtain a 2,5- dihydroxypyridine-producing microorganism. ;CONSTITUTION: The 2,5-dihydroxypyridine is produced from 6-hydroxynicotinic acid in the presence of at least one of microorganisms belonging to the genera Serratia, Alcaligenes, and Comamonas. The microorganisms are preferably Alcaligenes faecalis IAM 12586, Alcaligdnes faecalis IFO 14479, Alcaligenes faecalis CSM-6 (FERM P-14554), Serratia marcescens IFO 12648, and Comamonas acidovorans CSM-25 (FERM P-14556).;COPYRIGHT: (C)1996,JPO
