DE   nitroarene dioxygenase.
CA   NADH + nitrobenzene + O2 = catechol + NAD(+) + nitrite.
CC   -!- This enzyme is a member of the naphthalene family of bacterial Rieske
CC       non-heme iron dioxygenases.
CC   -!- It comprises a multicomponent system, containing a Rieske [2Fe-2S]
CC       ferredoxin, an NADH-dependent flavoprotein reductase (EC 1.18.1.3),
CC       and an alpha3beta3 oxygenase.
CC   -!- The enzyme forms of a cis-dihydroxylated product that spontaneously
CC       rearranges to form a catechol with accompanying release of nitrite.
CC   -!- It can typically act on many different nitroaromatic compounds,
CC       including chlorinated species.
CC   -!- Enzymes found in different strains may have different substrate
CC       preferences.
