It was shown that JS9 was unable to grow on (p-CT) due to the absence of the enzyme necessary for metabolism of 2-methyl dienelactone (an intermediate of the toluene digestion pathway). On the contrary, mutant strain JS62 is the only strain that can grow on this substance (Haigler and Spain, 1989). | It was shown that that JS6 was unable to grrow on (p-CT) due to the absence of the enzyme necessary for metabolism of 2-methyl dienaelactone (an intermediate of the toluene digestion pathway).
