Lateral transcolumn heterogeneities and the presence of larger voids in a packing (comparable to the particle size) can limit the preparation of efficient chromatographic columns. Optimizing and understanding the packing process provides keys to better packing structures and column performance.

The bioproduction of 3-methylcatechol from toluene via Pseudomonas putida MC2 was performed in a solid-liquid two-phase partitioning bioreactor with the intent of increasing yield and productivity over a single-phase system. The solid phase consisted of HYTREL, a thermoplastic polymer that

Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase encoded by TOL plasmid pWW0 of Pseudomonas putida consists of four identical subunits, each containing one ferrous ion. The enzyme catalyzes ring cleavage of catechol, 3-methylcatechol, and 4-methylcatechol but shows only weak activity toward 4-ethylcatechol. Two mutants of

Pseudomonas putida MC2 is a solvent-tolerant strain that accumulates 3-methylcatechol. In aqueous media, 10 mM of 3-methylcatechol was produced and production was limited by 3-methylcatechol toxicity to the biocatalyst. Production levels increased by introduction of a second, organic phase that
Leonie E Hüsken et al.
Journal of biotechnology, 96(3), 281-289 (2002-06-05)
Bioproduction of 3-methylcatechol from toluene by Pseudomonas putida MC2 was studied in the presence of an additional 1-octanol phase. This solvent was used to supply the substrate and extract the product, in order to keep the aqueous concentrations low. A
