Abstract
⺠Burkholderia xenovorans LB400 biphenyl dioxygenase (BphAELB400) metabolizes PCBs. ⺠Asn338Gln/Leu409Phe double mutation speeds up electron transfer of enzyme reaction. ⺠We tested how the mutations affect the PCB-degrading abilities of BphAELB400 variants. ⺠The same mutations also broaden the PCB substrate range of BphAELB400 variants.
