The bioconversion of toluene into 3-methylcatechol was studied as a model system for the production of valuable 3-substituted catechols in general. For this purpose, an improved microbial system for the production of 3-methylcatechol was obtained. Pseudomonas putida strains containing the

The bioproduction of 3-methylcatechol from toluene via Pseudomonas putida MC2 was performed in a solid-liquid two-phase partitioning bioreactor with the intent of increasing yield and productivity over a single-phase system. The solid phase consisted of HYTREL, a thermoplastic polymer that
Raúl Muñoz et al.
Biodegradation, 19(6), 897-908 (2008-04-15)
The response of Pseudomonas putida F1 to process fluctuations and operational failures during toluene biodegradation was evaluated in a chemostat suspended growth bioreactor. The ability of P. putida F1 to rapidly increase its specific toluene degradation capacity resulted in no
L E Hüsken et al.
Bioprocess and biosystems engineering, 26(1), 11-17 (2003-09-19)
Pseudomonas putida MC2 produces 3-methylcatechol from toluene in aqueous medium. A second phase of 1-octanol may improve total product accumulation. To optimise the design of such a biphasic process, a process model was developed, both for one- and two-phase applications.
George P Prpich et al.
Biotechnology and bioengineering, 97(3), 536-543 (2006-11-14)
The biotransformation of toluene to 3-methycatechol (3MC) via Pseudomonas putida MC2 was used as a model system for the development of a biphasic process offering enhanced overall volumetric productivity. Three factors were investigated for the identification of an appropriate organic
