Abstract excerpt
Acinetobacter sp. strain ADP1 can use benzoate or anthranilate as a sole carbon source. These structurally similar compounds are independently converted to catechol, allowing further degradation to proceed via the beta-ketoadipate pathway. In this study, the first step in anthranilate catabolism...
