ABSTRACT

The 8-hydroxy derivative of adenine (6-amino-1,7-dihydro-8H-purin-8-one) is produced from adenine by two Oerskovia xanthineolytica strains. This transformation by a microorganism has not been reported previously. No novel products of dissimilation of xanthine (3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione) or hypoxanthine (1,7-dihydro-6H-purin-6-one) were found. Xanthine was oxidized to uric acid, but intermediates in the breakdown of hypoxanthine could not be demonstrated.
