Utilization of Dimethoate by Wild Type Pseudomonas putida from Polluted Sites in Iran

Organophosphonate utilization by the wild-type strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens.

The wild-type strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens was found to utilize a range of structurally diverse organophosphonates as its sole carbon or nitrogen sources. Representative compounds included aminoalkylphosphonates, hydroxyalkylphosphonates, oxoalkylphosphonates, and phosphono dipeptides. Among them, amino(phenyl)methylphosphonate,2-aminoethylphosphonate, aminomethylphosphonate, diisopropyl 9...

Siderophore receptor PupA as a marker to monitor wild-type Pseudomonas putida WCS358 in natural environments.

For application of genetically engineered fluorescent Pseudomonas spp., specific markers are required for monitoring of wild-type Pseudomonas strains and their genetically modified derivatives in natural environments. In this study, the specific siderophore receptor PupA of plant growth-promoting Pseudomonas putida WCS358 was used as a marker to monitor wild-type strain WCS358. After introducti...

Valerolactone from Levulinate in Pseudomonas putida KT2440

Biodegradation of propiconazole by Pseudomonas putida isolated from tea rhizosphere

Biodegradation of triazole fungicide propiconazole was carried out in vitro by selected Pseudomonas strains isolated from tea rhizosphere. A total number of twelve strains were isolated and further screened based on their tolerance level to propiconazole. Four best strains were selected and further tested for their nutritional requirements. Among the different carbon sources tested glucose exhi...

Comparison of two dioxygenases from Pseudomonas putida.

Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase and homoprotocatechuate 2,3-dioxygenase were purified from the same strain of Pseudomonas putida. Molecular weights and subunit sizes were similar, but amino acid compositions showed some marked differences.
