Which of the following class of enzymes initiates aerobic degradation of aromatic pollutants (like naphthalene) in bacte

In biochemistry, enzyme catalysis and lipid structure dictates that substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. Therefore Oxido-reductases is correct as it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.
