The productivity of β-phenethyl alcohol (β-PA) from styrene by Pseudomonas 305-STR-1-4 was examined under various conditions. Under the optimum condition, 3.27mg/ml of β-PA was produced from 20mg/ml of styrene. The metabolic inhibitor, pyrazole, aided ineffectively producing β-PA more reliably and promptly. β-PA was extracted from the culture broth and purified to a semi-viscous, light-yellow liquid with a rose-like fragrance. Recovery was 90% and purity was 99.4%. IR spectrum of this liquid was identical with that of authentic sample. The mechanism of β-PA production by strain 305-STR-1-4 was proposed based on the results of this experiment.
