Abstract
The isofunctional enzymes of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase from species of
Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Nocardia, Alcaligenes
, and
Corynebacterium
oxidize 3-methylcatechol according to both the intradiol and extradiol cleavage patterns. However, the enzyme preparations from
Brevibacterium
and
Arthrobacter
have only the intradiol cleavage activity. Comparison of substrate specificity among these isofunctional dioxygenases shows striking differences in the oxidation of 3-methylcatechol, 4-methylcatechol and pyrogallol.
