    1.17.9.1 | 2,4-xylenol + acceptor + H2O |
- |
| 1.17.9.1 | 4-cresol + 2 acceptor + H2O |
PCMH catalyzes both the hydroxylation of 4-cresol to 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and the subsequent oxidation of the latter to 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde in the presence of artificial electron acceptors, the in vivo function of PCMH is to oxidize both 4-cresol and 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol |
| 1.17.9.1 | 4-cresol + acceptor + H2O |
degradation of the toxic p-cresol |
| 1.17.9.1 | 4-cresol + acceptor + H2O |
via intermediate 4-hydroxybenzylalcohol |
| 1.17.9.1 | 4-cresol + acceptor + H2O |
via intermediate 4-hydroxybenzylalcohol, degradation of toxic 4-cresol |
| 1.17.9.1 | 4-cresol + acceptor + H2O |
the obligately anaerobic Geobacter metallireducens uses the 4-cresol degradation pathway of denitrifying bacteria, PCMH catalyzes both 4-cresol hydroxylation and 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol oxidation to the corresponding aldehyde, unusually it is located in the membrane fraction |
| 1.17.9.1 | 4-cresol + azurin + H2O |
azurin is the physiological acceptor |
| 1.17.9.1 | 4-cresol + nitrate + H2O |
nitrate is the natural terminal electron acceptor |
| 1.17.9.1 | 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol + acceptor |
PCMH catalyzes both the hydroxylation of 4-cresol to 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol and the subsequent oxidation of the latter to 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde in the presence of artificial electron acceptors, the in vivo function of PCMH is to oxidize both 4-cresol and 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol |
| 1.17.9.1 | 4-methylphenol + acceptor + H2O |
