New proposal for a bacterial degradation pathway for the tertiary alcohols TAA and 3-methyl-3-pentanol involving an initial desaturation step catalyzed by the Rieske nonheme mononuclear iron oxygenase MdpJ and its reductase, MdpK. Underlined compounds indicate metabolites detected by GC mass spectrometry analysis. Broken lines indicate postulated but not-yet-characterized enzymatic reactions (28).
