Abstract: | Hydroxylation of biphenyl by the dibenzofuran-degrading yeast Trichosporon mucoides SBUG 801 was studied. Glucose-grown cells degraded 40% of the biphenyl added within the first 24 h of incubation. The first step in the biotransformation pathway was the monohydroxylation of the biaryl compound to produce 2-, 3-, and 4-hydroxybiphenyl. Further oxidation produced seven dihydroxylated intermediates; the second hydroxyl group was added either on the aromatic ring already hydroxylated or on the second ring. Of all metabolites, 2,5-dihydroxybiphenyl accumulated in the supernatant in the highest concentration. The initial hydroxylation favors the 4-position to produce 4-hydroxybiphenyl, which is subsequently hydroxylated to form 3,4-dihydroxybiphenyl. When biphenyl was replaced as a substrate by 4-hydroxybiphenyl, further hydroxylation of the intermediate 3,4-dihydroxybiphenyl resulted in 3,4,4'-trihydroxybiphenyl. Incubation of T. mucoides with biphenyl and 18O2 indicated a monooxygenase-catalyzed reaction in the oxidation of biphenyl. The hydroxylation was inhibited by 1-aminobenzotriazole and metyrapone, known cytochrome P450 inhibitors. These results are very similar to those observed in the biotransformation of biphenyl in mammals. |
