Micrococcus sp. which is able to utilize azelaic acid as a sole carbon source produced D-xylonic acid or D-gluconic acid by oxidative dissimilation of D-xylose or D-glucose at high yield of as much as 90per cent of the sugar consumed. The conditions for the production by intact cells or by cultivation were investigated.
