Oxidation of biphenyl by a Beijerinckia species

A species of Beijerinckia that utilizes biphenyl as sole source of carbon for growth was isolated by enrichment culture. A mutant strain, Beijerinckia B8/36, oxidizes biphenyl to cis-2, 3-dihydroxy-1-phenylcyclohexa-4, 6-diene. Cell extracts, prepared from the parent organism, oxidize cis-2, 3-dihyd...

Zusammenfassung:	A species of Beijerinckia that utilizes biphenyl as sole source of carbon for growth was isolated by enrichment culture. A mutant strain, Beijerinckia B8/36, oxidizes biphenyl to cis-2, 3-dihydroxy-1-phenylcyclohexa-4, 6-diene. Cell extracts, prepared from the parent organism, oxidize cis-2, 3-dihydroxy-1-phenylcyclohexa-4, 6-diene to 2, 3-dihydroxy-biphenyl. The physical properties of both metabolites are described.
