The phenylurea herbicide linuron is hydrolyzed by Bacillus sphaericus ATCC 12123 quantitatively forming 3,4-dichloroaniline, CO2, and N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine. The inducible enzyme responsible for this hydrolysis was purified to homogeneity as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Its molecular weight was 75 000 +/- 10%. Studies on its substrate specificity showed that either whole cells as the linuron-induced enzyme hydrolyze a large number of herbicidal and fungicidal acylanilides, the methoxysubstituted phenylureas and the phenylcarbamate propham at the carbonyl-aniline bond. This would classify the enzyme as an aryl acylamidase (E.C. 3.5.1). Hydrolysis of phenylamides by whole cells and by the enzyme is inhibited by different methylcarbamate and organophosphorus insecticides. Inhibition of hydrolysis of linuron by the aryl acylamidase by methylcarbamates is a competitive one.
