    Die Spaltung von Arylether-Bindungen durch initiale Dioxygenierung: Grundlage des bakteriellen Dioxinabbaus
    (1991) Engesser, Karl-Heinrich; Strubel, Volker; Kirchner, S.; Schestag, S.; Schulte, P.; Knackmuss, Hans-Joachim
    Bei der Untersuchung des bakteriellen Abbaus von Arylether-Modellsubstraten wie 2-Alkoxybenzoat, Carboxybiphenylether und Dibenzofuran wurde ein grundlegender Mechanismus für die Spaltung von Aryletherbindungen aufgedeckt. Demnach bewirken Dioxygenase-Enzyme unter Einführung zweier Hydroxylgruppen die Überführung von Ether- in Hemiacetalbindungen. Diese instabilen Hemiacetale reagieren unter Rearomatisierung zu aliphatischen Alkoholen und/oder Phenolverbindungen ab. Enzyme dieses Typs sind auch in der Lage, Dioxine zu spalten.

    Enrichment of dibenzofuran utilizing bacteria with high co-metabolic potential towards dibenzodioxin and other anellated aromatics
    (1989) Strubel, Volker; Rast, Hans G.; Fietz, Walter H.; Knackmuss, Hans-Joachim; Engesser, Karl-Heinrich
    Dibenzofuran degrading bacteria were enriched from various environmental sources. A mutualistic mixed culture of strain DPO 220 and strain DPO 230 was characterized. Strain DPO 220 alone showed limited growth with dibenzofuran as sole source of carbon and energy (td ≥ 4.5 h). A labile degradation product, C12H10O5, and salicylate were isolated from the culture fluid. Salicylate was found to be a central intermediate of DBF-degradation.Strain DPO 220 co-metabolized a wide range of anellated aromatics as well as heteroaromatics. High rates of co-oxidation of dibenzodioxin demonstrate analogue-enrichment to be a powerful technique for selecting enzymatic activities for otherwise non-degradable substrates.

    3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)catechol as substrate for proximal meta ring cleavage in dibenzofuran degradation by Brevibacterium sp. strain DPO 1361
    (1991) Strubel, Volker; Engesser, Karl-Heinrich; Fischer, Peter; Knackmuss, Hans-Joachim
    Brevibacterium sp. strain DPO 1361 oxygenates dibenzofuran in the unusual angular position. The 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)catechol thus generated is subject to meta ring cleavage in the proximal position, yielding 2-hydroxy-6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-6-oxo-2,4-hexadienoic acid, which is hydrolyzed to 2-oxo-4-pentenoate and salicylate by 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenyl-2,4-hexadienoic acid hydrolase. The proximal mode of ring cleavage is definitely established by isolation and unequivocal structural characterization of a cyclization product of 2-hydroxy-6-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-6-oxo-2,4-hexadienoic acid, i.e., 3-(chroman-4-on-2-yl)pyruvate.

    Dioxygenolytic cleavage of aryl ether bonds: 1,10-dihydro-1,10-dihydroxyfluoren-9-one, a novel arene dihydrodiol as evidence for angular dioxygenation of dibenzofuran
    (1989) Engesser, Karl-Heinrich; Strubel, Volker; Christoglou, Konstantinos; Fischer, Peter; Rast, Hans G.
    Two dibenzofuran degrading bacteria, Brevibacterium strain DPO 1361 and strain DPO 220, were found to utilize fluorene as sole source of carbon and energy. Cells which were grown on dibenzofuran, transformed fluorene into a number of products. For five of the seven metabolites isolated, the structure could be established unequivocally. Accumulation of one metabolite, 1,10-dihydroxy-1, 10-dihydrofluoren-9-one, indicated the presence of a novel type of dioxygenase, attacking polynuclear aromatic systems in the unusual angular position. Dibenzofuran degradation is proposed to likewise proceed via initial angular dioxygenation. Only aryl oxygen ether bond, which normally is extremely stable, is thus transformed to a hemiacetal. After spontaneous cleavage and subsequent rearomatization by dehydration, 2,2′,3-trihydroxybiphenyl [3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-catechol] thus results as the immediate product of the first enzymatic reaction in the degradation sequence.
