Abstract A strain of Pseudomonas putida capable of utilizing both stereoisomers of phenylglycine as the sole carbon and energy source was isolated from soil. No phenylglycine racemase was detected in cells grown on either stereoisomer. In an initial reaction each steroisomer of phenylglycine was transaminated yielding phenylglyoxylate which was further metabolized via benzaldehyde to benzoate. Subsequently, benzoate was further degraded via an ortho-cleavage of catechol.
