Pseudomonas cepacia RKJ200 (now described as Burkholderia cepacia) has been shown to utilize p-nitrophenol (PNP) as sole carbon and energy source. The present work demonstrates that RKJ200 utilizes 4-nitrocatechol (NC) as the sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy, and

After discovering that toluene 4-monooxygenase (T4MO) of Pseudomonas mendocina KR1 oxidizes nitrobenzene to 4-nitrocatechol, albeit at a very low rate, this reaction was improved using directed evolution and saturation mutagenesis. Screening 550 colonies from a random mutagenesis library generated by

Homoprotocatechuate 2,3-dioxygenase (WT 2,3-HPCD) isolated from Brevibacterium fuscum utilizes an active site Fe(II) and O(2) to catalyze proximal extradiol cleavage of the aromatic ring of the substrate (HPCA). Here, the conserved active site residue His200 is changed to Gln, Glu

The manganese-dependent 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate 2,3-dioxygenase (MndD) from Arthrobacter globiformis CM-2 is an extradiol-cleaving catechol dioxygenase that catalyzes aromatic ring cleavage of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate (DHPA). Based on the recent crystal structure of the MndD-DHPA complex, a series of site-directed mutations were made at

p-Nitrophenol hydroxylation to p-nitrocatechol is a useful metabolic marker for the presence of functional cytochrome P450 2E1 in mammalian cell microsomes, but the assay is limited by the sensitivity of the spectrophotometric method used to monitor p-nitrocatechol formation. In this
