Initial activating reactions, peripheral and central biochemical pathways involved in the aerobic and anaerobic degradation of toluene as representative BTEX compound. Shown aerobic hydroxylation reactions represent the more conserved aerobic activation mechanisms. Important catabolic enzymes (genes) as mentioned in the text are given. Scheme synthesised from Parales et al. (2008) and von Netzer et al. (2016).
