The remarkable Rhodococcus erythropolis

Carla C C R de Carvalho et al. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol. 2005 Jun.

Abstract

Rhodococcus erythropolis cells contain a large set of enzymes that allow them to carry out an enormous number of bioconversions and degradations. Oxidations, dehydrogenations, epoxidations, hydrolysis, hydroxylations, dehalogenations and desulfurisations have been reported to be performed by R. erythropolis cells or enzymes. This large array of enzymes fully justifies the prospective application of this bacterium in biotechnology.
