Aerobic hydrocarbon oxidation

Contaminant degrading enzyme

qPCR Target Information

GN-PAH-RHDs are key enzymes in Gram-negative bacteria that start the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as naphthalene, phenanthrene, and benzo[a]pyrene. They serve as functional markers for identifying and studying PAH-degrading bacteria.
