Abstract: | Pseudomonas sp. strain HBP1 Prp, a mutant of strain HBP1 that was originally isolated on 2-hydroxybiphenyl, was able to grow on 2-sec-butylphenol as the sole carbon and energy source. During growth on 2-sec-butylphenol, 2-methylbutyric acid transiently accumulated in the culture medium. Its concentration reached a maximum after 20 hours and was below detection limit at the end of the growth experiment. The first three enzymes of the degradation pathway — a NADH-dependent monooxygenase, a metapyrocatechase, and ameta-fission product hydrolase — were partially purified. The product of the the monooxygenase reaction was identified as 3-sec-butylcatechol by mass spectrometry. This compound was a substrate for the metapyrocatechase and was converted to 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-7-methylnona-2,4-dienoic acid which was identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of its trimethylsilyl-derivative. The cofactor independentmeta-cleavage product hydrolase used 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-7-methylnona-2,4-dienoic acid as a substrate. All three enzymes showed highest activities for 2-hydroxybiphenyl and its metabolites, respectively, indicating that 2-sec-butylphenol is metabolized via the same pathway as 2-hydroxybiphenyl. |
