Abstract
A naphthalenesolfonate-assimilating bacterium, Pseudomonas so. TA-2, m as found to convert 2-naphthoate to 1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydronaphthale ne-2-carboxylate (DDN2C) and 1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalene-3-ca rboxylate (DDN3C), and converted 1-naphthoate to 1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dih ydronaphthalene-1-carboxylate (DDNIC). Tt was suggested that conversio n of naphthoates was done by a dioxygenase with relaxed regioselectivi ty.
