The genome-wide sequencing revealed that the degradative enzymes were widely distributed throughout the genome, and we validated the expression of the enzymes by RTPCR, demonstrating that 3-keto-steroid-9[alpha] hydroxylase, monooxygenase, dioxygenase, and DSSKP-R-001 are highly expressed in estradiol degradation, which is clearly the reason for the efficient degradation of estradiol by Rhodococcus DSSKP-R-001.

During fruit senescence, ethylene and abscisic acid act together with degradative enzymes that gradually reduce the physiological capacity of the cells due to catabolic processes, cell dehydration and accentuated invasion of microorganisms, resulting in pulp softening (Chitarra & Chitarra, 2005; Saquet & Streif, 2012).
