Protective Role of Bacterial Alkanesulfonate Monooxygenase under Oxidative Stress
Chulwoo Park, Bora Shin, Woojun Park
Abstract
ssuD and tauD , which play a role in the degradation of organosulfonate, were expressed during n -hexadecane metabolism and oxidative stress conditions in A. oleivorans DR1. Our study confirmed that hexadecanesulfonate was accidentally generated during bacterial n -hexadecane degradation in sulfate-limited conditions. Removal of this by-product by SsuD and TauD must be necessary for bacterial survival under oxidative stress generated during n -hexadecane degradation.
