Promiscuous Defluorinating Enoyl-CoA Hydratases/Hydrolases Allow for Complete Anaerobic Degradation of 2-Fluorobenzoate

Promiscuous Defluorinating Enoyl-CoA Hydratases/Hydrolases Allow for Complete Anaerobic Degradation of 2-Fluorobenzoate

Biodegradation of the environmentally hazardous fluoroaromatics has mainly been associated with oxygenase-dependent defluorination reactions. Only very recently a novel mode of oxygen-independent defluorination was identified for the complete degradation of para-substituted fluoroaromatics in the de...
