Reaction Steps

A culture of strain CEL 2052 (ATCC 39636), growing continuously on 20 mM glucose and 8.5 mM nitrate, is induced with toluene in the absence of ammonium ions. 2-Hydroxymuconic semialdehyde is observed to accumulate rapidly at a rate which would produce 0.082 g/gdw/hr of picolinic acid if excess ammonium ions had been present. Instead, growth is inhibited immediately and the culture washes out at a dilution rate of 0.12 hr-1.
