1,6-dihydroxy-2-methylcyclohexa-2,4-dienecarboxylate + NAD(+) = 3-methylcatechol + CO2 + NADH
(1S,2R)-3-methylcyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-diol + NAD(+) = 3-methylcatechol + NADH + H(+)
3-methylcatechol + O2 = 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-2,4-heptadienoate + H(+)
2-nitrotoluene + NADH + O2 = 3-methylcatechol + nitrite + NAD(+)
