N2 - Co-metabolism is a term used for biochemically undefined observations in catabolic enzyme substrate specificity, the interplay between enzyme specificity and metabolic regulation, the metabolic interdependence of microorganisms, and co-substrate requirements in the catabolism of xenobiotic compounds. Recent findings in these four areas of microbial biochemistry necessitate a re-evaluation of the widespread use of the term.
