Camphor Degradation by Strains of Pseudomonas and Mycobacterium Isolated from Soil

Abstract

Three different isolates of Pseudomonas and two of Mycobacterium capable of the utilization of camphor as sole carbon source were isolated from soil. Evidence was obtained indicating that the strains of Pseudomonas and one of the strains of Mycobacterium metabolize camphor via pathways already described for Ps. putida.
