alcanivorax borkumensis is a marine bacterium that has ability to grow on limited substrates that mainly is alkanes. the ability to use wide range of hydrocarbons is advantage of this bacterium to other marine community bacteria. a. borkumensis have two genetic systems for alkane biodegradation. the first system is alkane hydroxylase (alk-b1and alk-b2) and the second system is  cytochrome p450....

The present study was conducted to investigate the expression level of cytochrome P450 enzyme in detoxification of water soluble fractions (WSFs) of crude oil in Persian sturgeon, Acipenser persicus. Fish were exposed to WSFs at concentrations of 0 (control), 10, 20, and 50% of the LC50 for 14 days, and then, the expression level of P450 gene was assayed in gill and liver samples. According to ...

Papaver rhoeas biotypes displaying multiple herbicide resistance to ALS inhibitors and synthetic auxin herbicides (SAH) are spreading across Europe. In Spain, enhanced metabolism imazamox was confirmed in one population, while cytochrome-P450 (P450) based 2,4-D another two. The objectives of this research were further confirm the presence P450 mediated and, if so, whether a putative common is r...

A “cocktail”of several probe drugs is often used to evaluate metabolic activity of multiple cytochrome P450 enzymes in one session. Some interactions among probe drugs can appear and may impact the rate of biotransformation of other ones. Our presented work was to aim on the influence of bupropion on rat cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism of tolbutamide. The biotransformation rates of tolbutam...
