Transformation of morphine by resting cells and cell-free systems of Arthrobacter sp

P Liras et al. Appl Microbiol. 1975 Aug.

Abstract

Morphine can be transformed into 14-hydroxymorphine and a related unidentified material by resting cells of an Arthrobacter species. Cell-free extracts containing the transforming enzyme(s) have been obtained. O2, Fe2+, and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide stimulate the transformation.
