FIGURE 2 Studies indicate that many bacteria possess all the essential genetic elements for nicotine catabolism ( ndh A, nct B, kdh L, nbo R, and dhponh are found to be actively involved in the pyridine pathway, which play an important roles in whole process of nicotine metabolism ( ndh A and nct B are also the critical genes in the VPP pathway ( ndh A gene is annotated to encode the isoquinoline 1-oxidoreductase alpha subunits, which can catalyze the hydroxylation of isoquinoline to 1-oxo-1,2-dihydroisoquinoline (Table 2) ( Bacillus subtilis FYZ1-3 revealed 14 functional genes associated with nicotine metabolism, and primarily located on the distinct genomic island of Bacillus subtilis FYZ1-3 ( cup , ponh , kdh L, TR 2, kdh M, kdh S, nit , ndh L, ndh S, ndh M, cox G, dhph , pkc , mox , TR 1, 6hlno have been identified in Nocardioides sp
