The peripheral enzymes are the ones that catabolize the pollutants initially to a metabolite that is further degraded. A majority of peripheral enzymes are oxygenases that hydroxylate the aromatic compounds, rendering them susceptible to the enzymes of ring-cleavage pathway.. An example of a group of enzymes involved in xenobiotic metabolism is hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450. These enzymes that metabolize xenobiotics are very important for the pharmaceutical industry because they are responsible for the breakdown of medications. Microorganisms have remarkable catabolic potential, with genes, enzymes, and degradation pathways implicated in the process of biodegradation. Microorganisms potentially utilize xenobiotic contaminants as carbon or nitrogen sources to sustain their growth and metabolic activities.10-Feb-2021

there are 2 ways .. aerobic and anaerobic .. refer image. but if you are concerned about cyt P450 main enzyme to degrade xenobiotics XH in our body refer image 2 and 3 for details
