    摘要: This invention provides a process for stabilising a population of a mutant micro-organism in a bioconversion system whereby growth of revertant cells is suppressed. The process involves limiting a nutrient which is essential for cell growth so that the cells selectively grow on a growth carbon source rather than on a non-growth carbon source which is present. The revertant cells being suppressed have a similar ability as the parent strain of the mutant micro-organism to grow on the non-growth carbon source in the bioconversion system. The non-growth carbon source in the bioconversion system is metabolised to an extracellular accumulating quantity of a desired metabolite, e.g., toluene is converted to muconic acid.

    摘要: This invention provides novel strains of microorganisms (e.g., Pseudomonas putida Biotype A) which are capable of converting toluene to muconic acid quantitatively by the ortho(β-ketoadipate) pathway. Muconate lactonising enzyme is not induced in the microorganism, thereby permitting the muconic acid to be produced and accumulated in a quantity greater than one gram of muconic acid per litre of growth medium.
