Pages 457-467 | Received 01 Oct 1971, Published online: 14 Oct 2008
 

Abstract

1. The properties of the microbial enzymes oxidatively cleaving alkyl-nitrogen bonds are reviewed.

2. The enzymes fall into three classes: oxidases, dehydrogenases and mono-oxygenases.

3. The role of these enzymes in the metabolism of amines and amino acids by bacteria is discussed.
