Metabolism of aromatic compounds by Caulobacter crescentus.
Cultures of Caulobacter crescentus were found to grow on a variety of aromatic compounds. Degradation of benzoate, p-hydroxybenzoate, and phenol was found to occur via beta-ketoadipate. The induction of degradative enzymes such as benzoate 1,2-dioxygenase, the ring cleavage enzyme catechol 1,2-dioxygenase, and cis, cis-muconate lactonizing enzyme appeared similar to the control mechanism presen...
متن کاملAnaerobic metabolism of aromatic compounds.
Aromatic compounds comprise a wide variety of natural and synthetic compounds that can serve as substrates for bacterial growth. So far, four types of aromatic metabolism are known. (1) The aerobic aromatic metabolism is characterized by the extensive use of molecular oxygen as cosubstrate for oxygenases that introduce hydroxyl groups and cleave the aromatic ring. (2) In the presence of oxygen,...
متن کاملEffects of polyhalogenated aromatic compounds on porphyrin metabolism.
Heme production is a vital metabolic process that occurs in the bone marrow and liver. Porphyrins are unused by-products of this biosynthetic process and normally occur in urine and other body fluids in low concentrations. Various disorders can disrupt the heme biosynthetic process, causing greater quantities of porphyrins in urine. The porphyrias are a group of diseases characterized by excess...
متن کاملSynthesis of Aromatic Compounds by Neurospora.
Increasing insight into the biosynthesis of aromatic substances has been obtained during the past few years primarily through the study of mutant strains of microorganisms,1 and by the use of isotopic carbon.2 Shikimic acid, reported to be involved in the biosynthesis of the aromatic amino acids and of p-aminobenzoic acid by Neurospora3 and Escherichia coli, has been shown to be derived in E. c...
متن کاملBiodegradation of aromatic compounds by Escherichia coli.
Although Escherichia coli has long been recognized as the best-understood living organism, little was known about its abilities to use aromatic compounds as sole carbon and energy sources. This review gives an extensive overview of the current knowledge of the catabolism of aromatic compounds by E. coli. After giving a general overview of the aromatic compounds that E. coli strains encounter an...
