title: A high level of accumulation of 2-hydroxymuconic 6-semialdehyde from aniline by the transpositional mutant Y-2 of Pseudomonas species AW-2.
abstract: Four transpositional mutants of aniline-assimilating Pseudomonas sp. AW-2 produced 2-hydroxymuconic 6-semialdehyde (HMS) from aniline and accumulated it in a cultural medium. Among the four mutants, strain Y-2 produced the greatest amount of HMS (0.77 mg/ml) from 1 mg/ml of aniline hydrochloride in a 15-h growing culture. The conversion rate of aniline to HMS was 70% on a molar basis. Resting cells of strain Y-2 produced 0.65 mg/ml of HMS during 4h of incubation in a reaction mixture containing 1 mg/ml of aniline hydrochloride (conversion rate, 60%). Transposon Tn5-Mob was found to be inserted into the gene of HMS dehydrogenase in strain Y-2 by sequence analysis.
