abstract：:We isolated a eugenol-degrading bacterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens E118. This strain produced a novel enzyme, eugenol dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the conversion of eugenol into coniferyl alcohol. The enzyme was purified from the eugenol-induced cells of P. fluorescens E118. The purified enzyme appeared to be homoge...
