Ring-cleaving hydrolase

Ring-cleaving hydrolase (bamA) is a crucial enzyme for anaerobic aromatic hydrocarbon biodegradation as it is used to break the cyclic ring, converting cyclohexadienes to aliphatic hydrocarbons.


This bamA ring-cleaving hydrolase is highly conserved across both Class I and Class II benzoyl-CoA pathways.  Therefore, bamA is a biomarker for aromatic degradation by denitrifiers, iron-reducers and sulphate-reducers.
