| Abstract: | Abstract Cell-free extracts of Rhodococcus corallinus NRRL B-15444R dechlorinated deethylsimazine (2-chloro-4-ethylamino-1,3,5-triazine-6-amine) to N -ethylammeline (2-amino-4-ethylamino-1,3,5-triazine-6(5H)-one) anaerobically, and, thus, presumably hydrolytically. Two enzyme fractions ( M r about 450 000 and 180 000) that dechlorinated deethylsimazine were detected after gel permeation chromatography of cell extracts. |
