Abstract

We found an inducible phenylserine dehydratase [EC 4. 2. 1. -] in a soil bacterium identified as Pseudonlonas pickettii PS22. The enzyme catalyzes the deamination of L-threo-3-phenylserine to yield phenylpyruvate and ammonia. The enzyme had an optimum reactivity at about pH 7.5. The K_m for L-threo-3-phenylserine was 0.21 mM.
