Several strains of Micrococcus have been isolated by enrichment with one of several phthalate esters as sole carbon source. They have been separated into four groups by their esterase content and nutritional characteristics. The catabolic potential for phthalate utilization found in these strains provides further support for designation of the four groups. Pathways for phthalate utilization by 4,5-dihydroxyphthalate and/or 3,4-dihydroxyphthalate and protocatechuate and/or 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate are outlined, which suggests that micrococci possess substantial potential for the catabolism of aromatic compounds.
通过以几种邻苯二甲酸酯中的一种作为唯一碳源进行富集培养,已分离出几种微球菌菌株。根据它们的酯酶含量和营养特性,这些菌株被分为四组。这些菌株中发现的邻苯二甲酸利用的分解代谢潜力为这四组的分类提供了进一步的支持。概述了通过4,5-二羟基邻苯二甲酸和/或3,4-二羟基邻苯二甲酸以及原儿茶酸和/或2,3-二羟基苯甲酸进行邻苯二甲酸利用的途径,这表明微球菌具有分解芳香族化合物的巨大潜力。
