Systematic diagram of the bacterial conversion of styrene and degraded products. The enzymes associated with styrene degradation are styrene monooxygenase, styrene oxide isomerase, phenylacetaldehyde dehydrogenase, phenylacetyl-CoA ligase, styrene 2,3-dioxygenase, styrene 2,3-dihydrodiol dehydrogenase, 2,3-vinylcatechol extradiol dioxygenase and 2,3-vinylcatechol intra-diol dioxygenase and designated as SMO, SOI, PAALDH, PA-CoA ligase, SDO, SDHDD, VCEDO and VCIDO, respectively (Mooney et al. 2006)
