6-Hydroxy-3-Succinoylpyridine Hydroxylase Catalyzes a Central Step of Nicotine Degradation in Agrobacterium tumefaciens S33

Nicotine is a main alkaloid in tobacco and is also the primary toxic compound in tobacco wastes. It can be degraded by bacteria via either pyridine pathway or pyrrolidine pathway. Previously, a fused pathway of the pyridine pathway and the pyrrolidine pathway was proposed for nicotine degradation by...
