Popis: The present study reports on the cloning, expression and characterization of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase (CAT) of bacterial strains isolated from dioxin-contaminated soils in Vietnam. Two isolated bacterial strains DF2 and DF4 were identified as Burkholderia cepacia based on their 16S rRNA sequences. Their genes coding CAT was amplified with a specific pair of primers. Recombinant CAT (rCAT) was expressed in E. coli M15 cells and its activity was confirmed by the detection of cis,cis-muconic acid, a product from catechol, by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. The rCAT of DF4 had an optimal pH and temperature of 7 and 30°C, respectively. Metal ions, such as Zn2+ and Mn2+, and surfactants, such as SDS, Tween 20 and Triton X100, strongly inhibited enzyme activity, while K+ slightly increased the activity.
