Comparative analysis of different Pseudomonas strains that degrade cinnamic acid
Applied and Environmental Microbiology
|October 1, 1986
Abstract:
Strains of Pseudomonas stutzeri (CINNS) and Pseudomonas putida (CINNP and CINNW) isolated from soil with cinnamic acid as the sole carbon source were found to be simultaneously adapted to grow on phenylpropionic and p-hydroxybenzoic acids. In cinnamic acid-grown cultures, phenylpropionic acid was isolated. A catabolic plasmid of approximately equal to 75 kilobase pairs encoding the metabolism of cinnamic acid was found in strains CINNP and CINNS.
