The soil bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea is an obligate autotroph which uses O2 as an electron acceptor and ammonia as its sole natural energy source. The ubiquity of nitrifying bacteria may facilitate their use in bioremediation applications, but such applications will require a thorough knowledge of the substrate range of Ammonia monooxygenase (AMO) (catalyzing the oxidation of ammonia). This study extends the know substrate range of N. europaea to include alkylbenzenes, halobenzenes, and various N- and O-containing aromatics. Evidence is also presented that oxidation of p-cresol and ring-substituted benzylic alcohols to corresponding aldehydes joccures even in the absence of AMO activity. 33 refs., 7 figs.
