Characterization of a novel angular dioxygenase from fluorene-degrading Sphingomonas sp. strain LB126
Luc Schuler, Sinead M. Ni Chadhain, Yves Jouanneau +4
In this study, the genes involved in the initial attack on fluorene by Sphingomonas sp. LB126 were investigated. The ? and ? subunits of a dioxygenase complex (FlnA1A2), showing 63…
Biodegradation of 2-ethylhexyl nitrate (2-EHN) by Mycobacterium austroafricanum IFP 2173
Elodie Nicolau, L. Kerhoas, Martine Lettere +2
2-Ethyhexyl nitrate (2-EHN) is a major additive of fuel which is used to comply with the cetane number of diesel. Because of its wide use and possible accidental release, 2-EHN is…
Purification and Characterization of an Arene cis-Dihydrodiol Dehydrogenase Endowed with Broad Substrate Specificity toward Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Dihydrodiols
Yves Jouanneau, Christine Meyer
Initial reactions involved in the bacterial degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) include a ring-dihydroxylation catalyzed by a dioxygenase and a subsequent oxidat…
Characterization of a naphthalene dioxygenase endowed with an exceptionally broad substrate specificity toward polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
Yves Jouanneau, Christine Meyer, Jean Jakoncic +2
In Sphingomonas CHY-1, a single ring-hydroxylating dioxygenase is responsible for the initial attack of a range of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) composed of up to five ri…
