Description
Catechol or catechol 2,3-dioxygenases (XylE) (C2,3O) + O(2) is converted by a ring cleavage into 2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde which is the cytotoxic and bright yellow-coloured product[1]. This is a key enzyme in many (soil) bacterial species used for the degradation of aromatic compounds. Catechol 2,3-dioxygenase[2] was originally isolated from Pseudomonas putida and is active only as a homotetramer. With araC-Pbad promoter,the production of XylE start and bacteria degrade catechol to 2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde.
