Abstract

A microorganism utilizing quinolinic acid as sole carbon, nitrogen, and energy sources for growth, and producing a potent activity of quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase in its cells was isolated. Based on its morphological, cultural, physiological, and biochemical characteristics, including the proper composition of cellular fatty acids, Alcaligenes eutrophus subsp. quinolinicus subsp. nov. KOUNO and IWAI is proposed for this organism.
