RESUMO
Staphylococcus auriculans DBF63, which can grow on dibenzofuran (DBF) or fluorene (FN) as the sole source of carbon and energy, was isolated. Salicylic acid and gentisic acid accumulated in the culture broth of this strain when DBF was supplied as a growth substrate. Also, the formation of 9-fluorenol, 9-fluorenone, 4-hydroxy-9-fluorenone, and 1-hydroxy-9-fluorenone was demonstrated, and accumulation of 1,1a-dihydroxy-1-hydro-9-fluorenone was observed when this strain grew on FN. On the basis of these results, the degradation pathways of DBF and FN were proposed. The analogous oxidation products of dibenzo-p-dioxin were obtained by incubation with DBF-grown S. auriculans DBF63 cells.
