The denitrifying Pseudomonas strain K172 was grown with a generation time of 6 h to a cell density of 0.4 g (dry weight) per liter with toluene and nitrate as substrates. We found that anaerobic cell suspensions oxidize [14C]toluene first to [14C]benzyl alcohol and subsequently to [14C]benzaldehyde. This proves that the methyl group of toluene is oxidized without molecular oxygen to a hydroxymethyl group.
反硝化假单胞菌菌株K172以甲苯和硝酸盐为底物,代时为6小时,生长至细胞密度达到每升0.4克(干重)。我们发现厌氧细胞悬浮液首先将[14C]甲苯氧化为[14C]苄醇,随后氧化为[14C]苯甲醛。这证明甲苯的甲基在没有分子氧的情况下被氧化为羟甲基。
