Identification of novel enzymes from lignin degrading microorganisms will help to develop biotechnologies for biomass valorization and aromatic hydrocarbons degradation.  Bacillus ligniniphilus  L1 grows with alkaline lignin as the single carbon source and is a great candidate for ligninolytic enzyme identification. The first dioxygenase from strain L1 was heterologously expressed, purified, and characterized with an optimal temperature and pH of 32.5 °C and 7.4, respectively. It showed the highest activity with 3-ethylcatechol and significant activities with other substrates in the decreasing order of 3-ethylcatechol &gt; 3-methylcatechol &gt; 3-isopropyl catechol &gt; 2, 3-dihydroxybiphenyl &gt; 4-methylcatechol &gt; catechol. It did not show activities against other tested substrates with similar structures. Most reported catechol 2,3-dioxygenases (C23Os) are Fe 2+ -dependent whereas  Bacillus ligniniphilus  catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (BLC23O) is more Mn 2+ - dependent. At 1 mM, Mn 2+  led to 230-fold activity increase and Fe 2+  led to 22-fold increase. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic analyses suggested that BL23O is different from other Mn-dependent enzymes and uniquely grouped with an uncharacterized vicinal oxygen chelate (VOC) family protein from  Paenibacillus apiaries . Gel filtration analysis showed that BLC23O is a monomer under native condition. This is the first report of a C23O from  Bacillus ligniniphilus  L1 with unique substrate preference, metal-dependency, and monomeric structure.
