Abstract
Inducible cometabolism of several sulfonylurea herbicides by Streptomyces griseolus has been shown to occur by hydroxylation, O-dealkylation, or deesterification reactions. Only after growth of the bacterium in the presence of sulfonylurea did cell-free extracts exhibit NAD(P)H-dependent sulfonylurea metabolism. These extracts were shown to contain elevated levels of soluble cytochrome P-450 and exhibit sulfonylurea induced difference spectra consistent with binding of substrate to cytochrome(s) P-450. These results establish the presence of an inducible cytochrome P-450-dependent sulfonylurea metabolizing system in S. griseolus.Entities:
