Pseudomonas putida N.C.I.B. 9869, when grown on 3,5-xylenol, hydroxylates the methyl groups on 3,5-xylenol and on p-cresol by two different enzymes. 3,5-Xylenol methylhydroxylase, studied only in relatively crude extracts, requires NADH, is not active with p-cresol and is inhibited by cyanide, but not by CO. The p-cresol methylhydroxylase requires an electron acceptor and will act under anaerobic conditions. It was purified and is a flavocytochrome c of mol.wt. approx. 114,000 consisting of two subunits of equal size. The enzyme catalyses the hydroxylation of p-cresol (Km 16 micron) and the further oxidation of product, p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (Km 27 micron) to p-hydroxybenzaldehyde. A different p-cresol methylhydroxylase of the flavocytochrome c type is induced by growth on p-cresol. It too was purified and has mol.wt. approx. 100,000, and again consisted of two equal-size subunits. The Km for p=cresol 3.6 micron and for p=hydroxybenzyl alcohol, 15 micron.
恶臭假单胞菌N.C.I.B. 9869在以3,5-二甲苯酚为底物生长时,通过两种不同的酶将3,5-二甲苯酚和对甲酚上的甲基羟基化。3,5-二甲苯酚甲基羟化酶仅在相对粗提物中进行了研究,它需要NADH,对对甲酚无活性,受氰化物抑制,但不受CO抑制。对甲酚甲基羟化酶需要一个电子受体,并且在厌氧条件下也能起作用。它被纯化出来,是一种分子量约为114,000的黄素细胞色素c,由两个大小相等的亚基组成。该酶催化对甲酚(Km为16微摩尔)的羟基化以及产物对羟基苄醇(Km为27微摩尔)进一步氧化为对羟基苯甲醛。在以对甲酚为底物生长时可诱导产生一种不同的黄素细胞色素c型对甲酚甲基羟化酶。它也被纯化出来,分子量约为100,000,同样由两个大小相等的亚基组成。对甲酚的Km为3.6微摩尔,对羟基苄醇的Km为15微摩尔。
