1.14.12.24 | physiological function |
an Escherichia coli clone that expresses DNT dioxygenase converts dinitrotoluene to 4-methyl-5-nitrocatechol and naphthalene to (+)-cis-(1R,2S)-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalene. The enzyme system exhibits similar substrate specificities as naphthalene dioxygenase, both can oxidize such compounds as indole, indan, indene, phenetole, and acenaphthene |
