ID 1.17.99.2 DE ethylbenzene hydroxylase. AN ethylbenzene dehydrogenase. CA A + ethylbenzene + H2O = (S)-1-phenylethanol + AH2. CC -!- Involved in the anaerobic catabolism of ethylbenzene by denitrifying CC bacteria. CC -!- Ethylbenzene is the preferred substrate; the enzyme from some strains CC oxidizes propylbenzene, 1-ethyl-4-fluorobenzene, 3-methylpent-2-ene CC and ethylidenecyclohexane. CC -!- Toluene is not oxidized. CC -!- p-benzoquinone or ferrocenium can act as electron acceptor. //
