Xanthobacter strain Py2 is one of a number of bacteria capable of aerobic growth using aliphatic alkenes as the sole carbon and energy source. The oxidation of alkenes in initiated by an alkene monooxygenase which catalyzes the CO{sub 2} and reductant-dependent oxidation of the alkenes to their corresponding epoxides. In this study, the induction of the alkene-oxidizing enzymes of Xantheobacter strain Py2 by the physiological substrates propylene and proplyene oxide is characterized. A variety of aliphatic and chlorinated alkenes and epoxides are shown to serve as effective inducers of the system. 21 refs., 6 figs., 2 tabs.
