Abstract excerpt
Although the protocatechuate branch of the beta-ketoadipate pathway in Gram+ bacteria has been well studied, this branch is less understood in Gram+ bacteria. In this study, Corynebacterium glutamicum was cultivated with protocatechuate, p-cresol, vanillate and 4-hydroxybenzoate as sole carbon and energy sources for growth. Enzymatic assays indicated that growing cells on these aromatic compounds exhibited...
