List Title
Benzoyl-CoA reductase
In the absence of oxygen (anaerobic conditions), bacteria cannot use oxygenases to break down aromatic rings. Instead, they activate aromatic compounds to benzoyl-CoA.
Because the benzene ring is highly stable, it must be reduced (dearomatised) first. Benzoyl-CoA is the substrate for benzoyl-CoA reductase (BCR), which uses electrons and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to reduce the ring, forming a non-aromatic cyclohexadiene ring. This unlocks the door for further bioremediation.
This Benzoyl-CoA qPCR gene target is used by denitrifiers for this key step.
