Studies of the catabolic pathway of degradation of nitrobenzene by Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes JS45: removal of the amino group from 2-aminomuconic semialdehyde
Article Abstract:
A research was conducted to investigate the enzymatic reactions which contributed to the release of ammonia after ring cleavage where 2-aminomuconic semialdehyde was oxidized to 2-aminomuconate in the presence of NAD by enzymes in crude extracts. Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes was maintained using an agar-solidified, nitrogen-free medium while cells were suspended in a phosphate buffer. Results indicated that the reduction of nitrite to ammonia would require 3 mol of NAD(P)H if nitrobenzene serves as the nitrogen source for growth.

Degradation of 3-phenoxybenzoic acid in soil by Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes POB310 (pPOB) and two modified Pseudomonas strains
Article Abstract:
A study of Pseudomonas pseudocaligenes and two other Pseudomonas strains shows that they can survive and grow in soil contaminated by 3-phenoxybenzoic acid and degrade the compound. The two strains completely degraded the compound when present in concentrations of only 30 CFU/g of soil.
