A bacterial strain was isolated with the ability to use 1H-4-oxoquinoline as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy. On the basis of its physiological properties, this isolate was classified as Pseudomonas putida. 1H-3-Hydroxy-4-oxoquinoline, N-formylanthranilic acid, anthranilic acid and catechol were identified as intermediates in the degradation pathway. The latter was further degraded by ortho-cleavage. The enzymatic conversion of 1H-4-oxoquinoline into 1H-3-hydroxy-4-oxoquinoline requires oxygen and NADH. Experiments with 18O2 showed that the oxygen consumed in this enzymatic reaction is derived from the atmosphere.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010100 Oxygen An element with atomic symbol O, atomic number 8, and atomic weight [15.99903; 15.99977]. It is the most abundant element on earth and essential for respiration. Dioxygen,Oxygen-16,Oxygen 16
D010103 Oxygen Isotopes Stable oxygen atoms that have the same atomic number as the element oxygen, but differ in atomic weight. O-17 and 18 are stable oxygen isotopes. Oxygen Isotope,Isotope, Oxygen,Isotopes, Oxygen
