β¦ Synopsis
P. testosteroni oxidizes benzoate, m-hydroxybenzoate and p-hydroxybenzoate to protocatechuate, which is dissimilated through the meta cleavage pathway. P. acidovorans uses the same pathway for the oxidation of p-hydroxybenzoate, but employs the gentisate pathway for the oxidation of m-hydroxybenzoate. The difference between the two species with respect to m-hydroxybenzoate metabolism reflects a difference with respect to the specificity of their m-hydroxybenzoate hydroxylases: the enzyme of P. testosteroni hydroxylates in the 4 position, and that of P. acidovorans in the 6 position. * Dedicated to Prof. C. ]3. vA~ NI~L on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
