The Catabolism of Phenanthrene and Naphthalene by Bacteria
Abstract
Thirteen strains of bacteria able to grow on phenanthrene were isolated from soil; they included fluorescent and non-fluorescent pseudomonads, vibrios and unidentified bacteria. Two of the pseudomonads, like Aeromonas sp. s45p1, also grew on naphthalene. In all strains, growth on phenanthrene induced the enzyme responsible for the conversion of 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate to 2-carboxybenzaldehyde, NAD-dependent 2-carboxybenzalde-hyde dehydrogenase and protocatechuate oxygenase, but not salicylate hydroxylase, catechol oxygenase or NAD(P)H-dependent 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate hydroxylase. Growth on naphthalene induced salicylate hydroxylase and catechol oxygenase. It is suggested that the catabolism of phenanthrene occurs via protocatechuate in all these bacteria, and that the pathways for degradation of phenanthrene and naphthalene are separate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
