Camphor biodegradation by Pseudomonas putida plays a key role in carbon cycling in the biosphere

The key role of microorganisms in promoting carbon cycling in the biosphere is well illustrated by the biodegradation of the natural plant terpenoid camphor by Pseudomonas putida ATCC 17453. Research has established that several different monooxygenases (cytochromeP450
