Aerobic Degradation of N-Methyl-4-Nitroaniline (MNA) by Pseudomonas sp. Strain FK357 Isolated from Soil
Figure 6
Stoichiometric N-demethylation of MNA and monooxygenation of 4-NA by cell-free lysates prepared from MNA grown cells of strain FK357.
(A) N-demethylation of MNA to 4-NA along with concomitant production of HCHO. (•), MNA; (▾), 4-NA; (○), HCHO. (B) Monooxygenation of 4-NA to 4-AP with stoichiometric release of NO2−. (•), 4-NA; (▾), 4-AP; (○), NO2−. Values are presented as arithmetic mean of data obtained from experiments carried out in triplicate; error bars represent standard deviation.
