  • Title: [Peripheral metabolism of isomeric xylenes by Pseudomonas aeruginosa].
    Author: Skriabin GK, Ganbarov KhG, Golovleva LA, Chervin II, Adanin VM.
    Journal: Mikrobiologiia; 1976; 45(6):951-4. PubMed ID: 827670.
    Abstract:
    Microbiological oxidation of xylenes was studied with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, strain 7. The culture grows on m-xylene and, at a lower rate, on p-xylene, but does not grow on o-xylene though partly oxidizes it. Pathways of primary enzymatic oxidation of xylenes by the culture were established. Oxidation of m-xylene follows the pathway described earlier but methylsalicylic acid formed is not accumulated in the medium and is transformed into 3-methylcatechol. The aromatic ring is splitted according to the meta pathway. It has been demonstrated for the first time that o-xylene is oxidized to o-hydroxymethylbenzoic acid.
