title: [Screening and identification of a strain for hydroxylation of nicotinic acid].
abstract: Strain screening was conducted on a large scale in order to develop a biotransforming process for 6-hydroxynicotinic acid production. A strain named as NA-1 was isolated from soil which could transform nicotinic acid into a new product showed by HPLC. The new product was identified as 6-hydroxynicotinic acid by MS and 1H-NMR. The morphology, physiological and biochemical characteristics of strain NA-1 were studied and showed that characteristics of strain NA-1 were essentially consistent with Pseudomonas putida. The analysis of 16S rDNA sequence from strain NA-1 suggested that strain NA-1 was clustered together with P. putida in phylogenetic tree and the sequence identity between stain NA-1 and Pseudomonas putida was 99%. So strain NA-1 was identified to P. putida.
