toluene 2,3-dioxygenase |
| Systematic name: |
toluene,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (1,2-hydroxylating) |
| Comments: |
A system, containing a reductase which is an iron-sulfur flavoprotein (FAD), an iron-sulfur oxygenase, and a ferredoxin. Some other aromatic compounds, including ethylbenzene, 4-xylene and some halogenated toluenes, are converted into the corresponding cis-dihydrodiols. |
