Raúl Muñoz et al.
Biodegradation, 19(6), 897-908 (2008-04-15)
The response of Pseudomonas putida F1 to process fluctuations and operational failures during toluene biodegradation was evaluated in a chemostat suspended growth bioreactor. The ability of P. putida F1 to rapidly increase its specific toluene degradation capacity resulted in no

Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 55(5), 571-577 (2001-06-21)
The bioconversion of toluene into 3-methylcatechol was studied as a model system for the production of valuable 3-substituted catechols in general. For this purpose, an improved microbial system for the production of 3-methylcatechol was obtained. Pseudomonas putida strains containing the
