Title: Activity-dependent Fluorescent Labeling of Bacteria that Degrade Toluene via 3-methylcatechol

Journal Article · · Journal of Microbiological Methods

3-Hydroxyphenylacetylene (3-HPA) served as a novel, activity-dependent, fluorogenic and chromogenic probe for bacterial enzymes known to degrade toluene via meta ring fission of the intermediate, 3-methylcatechol. By this direct physiological analysis, cells grown with an aromatic substrate to induce the synthesis of toluene-degrading enzymes were fluorescently labeled.
