- Catechol 1,2- dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.1, 1,2-CTD, catechol-oxygen 1,2-oxidoreductase, 1,2-pyrocatechase, catechase, catechol 1,2-oxygenase, catechol dioxygenase, pyrocatechase, pyrocatechol 1,2-dioxygenase, CD I, CD II) is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative ring cleavage of catechol to form cis,cis-muconic acid: More specifically, 1,2-CTD is an intradiol dioxygenase, a family of catechol dioxygenases that cleaves the bond between the phenolic hydroxyl groups of catechol using an Fe3+ cofactor. Thus far, 1,2-CTD has been observed to exist in the following species of soil bacteria and fungi: Pseudomonas sp., Pseudomonas fluorescens, Aspergillus niger, Brevibacterium fuscum, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Trichosporon cutaneum, Rhodococcus erythropolis, Frateuria sp., Rhizobium trifolii, Pseudomonas putida, Candida tropicalis, Candida maltose, Rhizobium leguminosarum, and Nocardia sp.. These bacteria subsequently employ 1,2-CTD in the last step of the degradation of aromatic compounds to aliphatic products. (en)
