abstract：:A catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (C23O) gene was found from Sulfolobus solfataricus strain 98/2. Heterologous thermophilic C23O expressed in Escherichia coli showed the highest activity against catechol and 4-chlorocatechol, and at neutral pH. The C23O gene located with a putative multicomponent monooxygenase (MM) gene clus...
