Abstract
The inducibility of cytochrome P-450 in Acinetobacter calcoaceticus by some compounds known as typical inducers of hepatic cytochromes P-450 was investigated. Besides biphenyl also indene and phenanthrene are inducers, whereas compounds of the so-called “phenobarbital type” are not. Biphenyl appears to be the most effective inducer with regard to the yield of cytochrome P-450/mg of cell protein. By addition of the compounds in the vapour phase an induction of the protein by naphthalene could be demonstrated. The results are indicative of the existence of bacterial cytochromes P-450 that resemble hepatic cytochromes.
