The formation of phenethyl alcohol from L-phenylalanine and ethanol by achromobacter isolates of fishery origin was found to be taxonomically significant for such organisms. Phenylpyruvate, the direct oxidative deamination product of L-phenylalanine, was found to serve as an intermediate precursor to phenethyl alcohol formation. Among ten Acinetobacter isolates examined, none produced phenethyl alcohol. Among nine Moraxella isolates examined, one produced phenethyl alcohol.
研究发现,渔业来源的无色杆菌分离株由L-苯丙氨酸和乙醇形成苯乙醇这一现象,对于此类微生物具有分类学意义。L-苯丙氨酸的直接氧化脱氨产物苯丙酮酸被发现是苯乙醇形成的中间前体。在所检测的10株不动杆菌分离株中,无一产生苯乙醇。在所检测的9株莫拉克斯氏菌分离株中,有1株产生苯乙醇。
