FIG. 1.
Requirement of CO2 for epoxyalkane degradation by propylene-grown N. corallina. Assays were performed with whole-cell suspensions (0.5 mg of protein). Closed symbols, assays performed with CO2 and NaHCO3 (50 mM combined concentration); open symbols, assays performed without CO2 and NaHCO3; squares, epoxypropane remaining; circles, 1,2-epoxybutane remaining.
