Photoheterotrophic metabolism of acrylamide by a newly isolated strain of Rhodopseudomonas palustris
Article Abstract:
The microbial diversity of acrylamide metabolism is expanded through the isolation and characterization of a new strain of Rhodopseudomonas palustris capable of growth with acrylamide under photoheterotrophic conditions. Results give the first demonstration of anaerobic photoheterotrophic bacterial acrylamide catabolism and provide evidence for a new pathway for acrylate catabolism involving propionate as an intermediate.

Metabolism of carbaryl via 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene by soil isolates pseudomonas sp. strains C4, C5, and C6
Article Abstract:
A study to investigate the catabolic pathway and its regulation with the emphasis on the enzyme involved in the conversion of 1-naphthol to salicylate is conducted. The results proposed the metabolic pathway as carbaryl -> 1-naphthol -> 1,2-dihydroxynaphthalene -> salicylaldehyde -> salicylate -> gentisate -> maleylpyruvate.

Effect of exogenous reductant on growth and iron mobilization from ferrihydrite by the pseudomonas mendocina ymp strain
Article Abstract:
Growth of the Pseudomonas mendocina ymp strain on insoluble ferrihydrite is enhanced by exogenous reductants with concurrent increase in soluble iron concentrations. This shows that exogenous reductants play a substantial role in the overall microbial iron bioavailability.
