| Summary | A soil bacterium (probably of the genus Pseudomonas) which could utilize 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid as a sole carbon source was isolated. The oxygenase which catalyzed the initial degradative reaction of 2,3- dihydroxybenzoic acid was purified and examined to determine whether the reaction was simultaneous or a two step process. Based on data obtained from ion-exchange chromatography, Warburg analysis, and studies of oxidative metabolism, it was determined that the oxidation of 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid was a one step process involving the simultaneous uptake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide. |
