Abstract
The enzymatic conversions necessary for the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids have been reported to occur in a wide variety of bacteria. However, most studies have been done using several species of Pseudomonas. Pseudomonads are richly endowed with extraordinary nutritional versatility, which enables them to catabolize a diverse array of organic compounds (64), including the branchedchain amino acids. In a recent review of the regulation of catabolic pathways in Pseudomo-
