| Comment(s) |
|---|
- The enzyme from Alcaligenes sp. strain O-1 has also been shown to
catalyze the reaction: 2,3-dihydroxybenzenesulfonate + O(2) + H(2)O =
2-hydroxymuconate + bisulfite and has been referred to as 2,3-
dihydroxybenzenesulfonate 2,3-dioxygenase.
- Further work will be necessary to show whether or not this is a
distinct enzyme.
- Formerly EC 1.13.1.2.
