title: Purification and Properties of Catechol 1,2-Dioxygenase from Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viceae USDA 2370.
abstract: The catechol 1,2-dioxygenase of Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viceae USDA 2370 was purified 296-fold, yielding a homogeneous preparation with a specific activity of 51.1 U mg of protein. The molecular weight of the native protein was 70,000, with two identical subunits of 34,500 and 1 g-atom of iron per mol. The optimum pH for catalytic activity was 9.0 to 9.5.
