Abstract excerpt
Five naphthalene- and salicylate-utilizing Pseudomonas putida strains cultivated for a long time on phenanthrene produced mutants capable of growing on this substrate and 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate as the sole sources of carbon and energy. The mutants catabolize phenanthrene with the formation of 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate, 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoate, salicylate, and catechol. The latter products are further metabolized by...
