Monooxygenase and dioxygenases by bacterial specific enzymes network
Summary
This review examines bacterial monooxygenase and dioxygenase enzyme networks involved in the degradation of naphthalene and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) found in coal tar, petroleum, and industrial sites. The study details how these enzymatic pathways metabolize PAHs and their relevance for bioremediation of contaminated environments.
Naphthalene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), is present in different industrial sites, including combustion products of fossil products (such as coal tar and petroleum) and biofuels. It is also a chemical with a substantial quantity of commercial manufacturing. Moth repellents and toilet deodorant blocks are among the most common consumer items that include the chemical compound naphthalene. It is also widely used in the production of chemical intermediates (such as phthalic anhydrides) as well as pigments and surfactants, and in the tanning of leather. Naphthalene has critical health impact, inducing mutations and/or cancers. This review focuses on the bacterial enzymes used in the degradation of naphthalene. Naphthalene is an important contaminant of environment that can cause serious health problems. The compound can be bacterial-degraded used specific enzymes networks, such as monooxygenases, dioxygenases, dehydrogenases, etc.
