Pseudomonas ATCC 17483 produced enzymes for naphthalene metabolism when growing in a medium containing succinate and naphthalene. Mutants for naphthalene metabolism produced by treatment with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine were able to produce these enzymes only when the metabolic pathway was intact as far as salicylaldehyde, which was therefore identified as the first possible inducer.
铜绿假单胞菌ATCC 17483在含有琥珀酸盐和萘的培养基中生长时会产生用于萘代谢的酶。用N-甲基-N'-硝基-N-亚硝基胍处理产生的萘代谢突变体只有在代谢途径完整至水杨醛时才能产生这些酶,因此水杨醛被确定为第一种可能的诱导剂。
