RESUMO
A polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) oxidase-deficient mutant of Pseudomonas sp. strain VM15C, strain ND1, was shown to possess PVA dehydrogenase, in which pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) functions as a coenzyme. The mutant grew on PVA and required PQQ for utilization of PVA as an essential growth factor. Incubation of the membrane fraction of the mutant with PVA caused cytochrome reduction of the fraction. Furthermore, it was found that in spite of the presence of PVA oxidase, the membrane fraction of strain VM15C grown on glucose without PQQ required PQQ for cytochrome reduction during incubation with PVA. The results provide evidence that PVA dehydrogenase couples with the electron transport chain of PVA-degrading bacteria but that PVA oxidase does not.
