An organism identified as
Pseudomonas putida
was isolated from an enrichment culture with 2-furoic acid as its sole source of carbon and energy. The organism contained a 2-furoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase to form 2-furoyl-CoA and a 2-furoyl-CoA dehydrogenase to form 5-hydroxy-2-furoyl-CoA as the first two enzymes involved in the degradation. Tungstate, the specific antagonist of molybdate, decreased growth rate and consumption of 2-furoic acid but had no influence on growth with succinate. Correspondingly, the 2-furoyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity decreased when the organism was grown on 2-furoic acid in the presence of increasing amounts of tungstate. The addition of molybdate reversed the negative effect on 2-furoyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity, which points to the involvement of a molybdoenzyme in this reaction. Both enzymes studied were inducible. No plasmid was detected in this organism.
从以2-呋喃甲酸为唯一碳源和能源的富集培养物中分离出一种被鉴定为假单胞菌的生物。该生物含有2-呋喃酰辅酶A(CoA)合成酶来形成2-呋喃酰-CoA和2-呋喃酰-CoA脱氢酶来形成5-羟基-2-呋喃酰-CoA作为降解的前两个酶。钨酸盐,钼酸盐的特定拮抗剂,降低了生长速率和2-呋喃甲酸的消耗,但对琥珀酸的生长没有影响。相应地,当该生物在存在逐渐增加的钨酸盐量下在2-呋喃甲酸上生长时,2-呋喃酰-CoA脱氢酶活性下降。添加钼酸盐可以扭转对2-呋喃酰-CoA脱氢酶活性的负面影响,这表明钼酶参与了这一反应。两种酶都是可诱导的。在这个生物中没有检测到质粒。
