University of Minnesota Biocatalysis/Biodegradation Database
The EAWAG Biocatalysis and Biodegradation Database provides microbial reaction and biodegradation pathway information, though it is no longer actively maintained.
About University of Minnesota Biocatalysis/Biodegradation Database
The EAWAG Biocatalysis/Biodegradation Database provides information on microbial biocatalytic reactions and biodegradation pathways. It can be searched by compound, enzyme, microorganism, pathway, biotransformation rule name, chemical formula, chemical structure, CAS Registry Number, or EC code, and includes lists of pathways, reactions, compounds, enzymes, microorganism entries, and biotransformation rules with pathway maps and reaction graphics.
The site states it is no longer actively maintained, that data may be outdated, and that updates and active support are no longer provided there. It directs users to the successor system at https://envipath.org for current information and support.
