title: [Oxidation of alpha-methylstyrene by Pseudomonas cultures].
abstract: The work was aimed at studying alpha-methylstyrene oxidation by three active Pseudomonas cultures. P. acidovorans 9 oxidized alpha-methylstyrene only to acetophenone whereas two P. aeruginosa cultures assimilated the compound entirely. Analysis of the intermediate products and enzymes catalyzing the aromatic ring cleavage suggests that these strains oxidize alpha-methylstyrene via a new unknown pathway.
