Oxidation of organic compounds by propane monooxygenase ofRhodococcus erythropolis 3/89
The ability of propane monooxygenase ofRhodococcus erythropolis 3/89 to catalyze oxidation of higher liquid alkenes and aromatic hydrocarbons was studied. Optimal conditions of tetradecene epoxidation and benzene hydroxylation were found. Under these conditions, oxidation was shown to be accompanied by a 100% conversion of benzene to phenol.
Biotransformation of hydrocarbons and related compounds by whole organism suspensions of methane-grown methylosinus trichosporium OB 3b.
Abstract Whole organisms of Methylosinus trichosporium OB 3b partially metabolise a wide range of compounds including n-alkanes, alkenes, aromatic, alicyclic and terpenoid hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenol, pyridine and ammonia. The reactions involve oxidations, dechlorinations and condensations; most of them are probably initiated by a broad specificity methane mono-oxygenase. Rates of oxidation of ethane and propene are of the same order as those for methane. Catalytic activities are quite stable in organisms stored under appropriate conditions. The findings differ substantially from those recently described for Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath), whole organisms of which show very restricted biotransformation capacity.
