title: [Assimilation of propane and properties of propan monooxygenase from Rhodococcus erythropolis 3/89].
abstract: The ability of propane-assimilating microorganisms of the genus Rhodococcus to utilize metabolites of the terminal and subterminal pathways of propane oxidation was studied. Propane monooxygenase of Rhodococcus erythropolis 3/89 was shown to be the an inducible enzyme catalyzing epoxidation and hydroxylation of organic compounds. The optimum conditions for epoxidation of gaseous and liquid alkenes and hydroxylation of aromatic carbohydrates were found.
