Abstract excerpt
Catechol 1,2-dioxygenase is the key enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of the aromatic ring of catechol. We explored the genetic diversity of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase in the fecal microbial metagenome by PCR with degenerate primers. A total of 35 gene fragments of C12O were retrieved from microbial DNA in the feces of pygmy loris. Based on phylogenetic analysis, most sequences were closely related to C12O...
