This invention provides novel strains of microorganisms (e.g., Pseudomonas putida Biotype A) which are capable of converting toluene to muconic acid quantitatively by the ortho(β-ketoadipate) pathway.
Muconate lactonising enzyme is not induced in the microorganism, thereby permitting the muconic acid to be produced and accumulated in a quantity greater than one gram of muconic acid per litre of growth medium.
本发明提供了新型微
生物菌株(如假单胞菌 Pseudomonas putida Biotype A),它们能够通过原(β-酮基
己二酸)途径将
甲苯定量转化为粘多酸。
这种微
生物不诱导粘多酸内酯化酶,因此可以产生和积累粘多酸,其数量超过每升生长
培养基一克粘多酸。
