Biodegradation of p-nitrophenol by Rhodococcus sp. 21391 unveils a two-component p-nitrophenol monooxygenase with broad substrate specificity
This study reports a high-performance nitrophenol-degrading bacterium and enzyme, and reveals their mechanisms at the molecular level. These findings increase the understanding of the bacterial degradation of nitrophenol, thereby providing a crucial foundation for the development of efficient bioremediation technologies.
