Some soil bacteria are able to metabolize styrene via initial side-chain oxygenation. This catabolic route is of potential biotechnological relevance due to the occurrence of phenylacetic acid as a central metabolite. The styrene-degrading strains <i>Rhodococcus opacus</i> 1CP, <i>Pseudomonas fluorescens</i> ST, and the novel isolates <i>Sphingopyxis</i> sp. Kp5.2 and <i>Gordonia</i> sp. CWB2 were investigated with respect to their applicability to co-metabolically produce substituted phenylacet ...[more]
