Figure 1From: Nonlinear changes in the activity of the oxygen-dependent demethylase system in Rhodococcus erythropolis cells in the presence of low and very low doses of formaldehydeThe hypothetical mechanism of veratrate demethylation to vanillate by Rhodococcus erythropolis cells, dependent on activated state of formaldehyde (Malarczyk and Pazdzioch-Czochra, 2000) [17].

Abbreviations: HCHO and H*CHO-formaldehyde in normal and activated state; 4-O-D-4-O-Demethylase system, Ox.NADH-NADH oxidase system, MAX state-maximal oxygen uptake, MIN state-maximal oxygen release.
