Some features of Pseudomonas putida NA-1 strain in cultivation and enzyme production were different from S. marcescens IFO 12648 and P. fluorescens TN5 stains which could transform nicotinic acid to 6-hydroxynicotinic acid reported by other scientists, such as optimal carbon and its optimal concentration, optimal inducer concentration, and optimal cultivation temperature. The ideal transformation condition was nicotinic acid 3%, temperature 35 degrees C and pH 7.0. Under an appropriate condition, in a 4 liter fermenter, production yield of 6-hydroxynicotinic acid by Pseudomonas putida NA-1 was 108.39 g/L.
