Biotransformation of 4-sec-butylphenol by Gram-positive bacteria of the genera Mycobacterium and Nocardia including modifications on the alkyl chain and the hydroxyl group

Abstract: The environmental pollutant 4-sec-butylphenol (4-sec-BP) which possesses estrogenic properties was transformed by the aerobic Gram-positive bacteria Mycobacterium neoaurum and Nocardia cyriacigeorgica into three main products (P1-P3) which were isolated and structurally characterized in detail. Two of them were products of a process resembling anaerobic metabolism of alkylphenols based on modifications of the alkyl side chain of 4-sec-BP. The first product (P1) was identified as 4-(2-hydroxy-1-methylpropyl)-ph… Show more

“…Nocardia species are actinomycetes that have features in common with pathogens and secondary metabolite producers. For example, several species of Nocardia (i.e., Nocardia asteroides , Nocardia brasiliensis ) are opportunistic human and animal pathogens, causing lung, skin and brain infections, predominantly in immunocompromised hosts, while others are reservoirs of bioactive natural products ( Hoshino et al, 2011 ; Tanaka et al, 1997 ) and are capable of degrading or converting widespread environmental pollutants ( Hahn et al, 2013 ; Santillan et al, 2016 ). These beneficial properties and their potential biotechnical applications have attracted a great deal of interest in the genus Nocardia.…”
