Abstract excerpt
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a family of ubiquitous pollutants whose environmental behavior has been widely studied. Different bacterial species are able to decompose hydrocarbons by using them as a food source. One of the best-studied enzymes is naphthalene 1,2-dioxygenase (NDO). A practical way to optimize the degradation process is by mutating the protein involved, increasing both the degradation...
