Abstract excerpt
Thauera aromatica strain AR-1 degrades 3,5-dihydroxybenzoate (3,5-DHB) with nitrate as an electron acceptor. Previous biochemical studies have shown that this strain converts 3,5-DHB to hydroxyhydroquinone (1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene) through water-dependent hydroxylation of the aromatic ring and subsequent decarboxylation, and they suggest a pathway homologous to that described for the anaerobic degradation of...
