Induction of 3-hydroxybenzoate 2-hydroxylase in a Pseudomonas testosteroni mutant

J Bacteriol. 1982 Jan;149(1):384-5. doi: 10.1128/jb.149.1.384-385.1982.

Abstract

Benzoate was established as the inducer of a unique 3-hydroxybenzoate 2-hydroxylase activity found in a Pseudomonas testosteroni mutant which is unable to grow on m-hydroxybenzoate as its sole source of carbon and energy.
