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

A purification procedure has been developed for an extradiol dioxygenase expressed in Escherichia coli, which was originally derived from a Pseudomonas putida strain able to grow on toluidine. Physical and kinetic properties of the enzyme have been investigated. The enzyme

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
L E Hüsken et al.
Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 55(5), 571-577 (2001-06-21)
The bioconversion of toluene into 3-methylcatechol was studied as a model system for the production of valuable 3-substituted catechols in general. For this purpose, an improved microbial system for the production of 3-methylcatechol was obtained. Pseudomonas putida strains containing the
