Nocardia sp. DSM 1069 was grown on mineral salt media with coniferyl alcohol, 4-methoxybenzoic acid, 3-methoxybenzoic acid or veratric acid as sole sources of carbon and energy. During incubation on coniferyl alcohol, the formation of coniferyl aldehyde, ferulic acid and quantitative accumulation of vanillic acid and proteocatechuic acid could be achieved with mutants. Washed cell suspensions of N. sp. grown on 4-methoxybenzoic acid, oxidized 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and protocatechuic acid. Cells grown on veratric acid, oxidized vanillic acid, isovanillic acid, and protocatechuic acid. Cell extracts were shown to cleave protocatechuic acid by ortho-fission.A mutant without protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase activity was not influenced in its growth on 3 methoxybenzoic acid. Cell free extracts of cells grown on 3-methoxybenzoic acid were shown to catalyze the oxidation of gentisic acid (2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid). The resulting ring cleavage product was further metabolized by a glutathione dependent reaction.The specificity of the demethylation reactions has been investigated with a mutant unable to grow on vanillic acid. This mutant was not impaired in the degradation of isovanillic acid, 4-methoxy-, or 3-methoxybenzoic acid, whereas growth of this mutant on veratric acid (3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid) was only half as much as that of the wild type. Concomitantly with growth on veratric acid this mutant accumulated vanillic acid with a yield of about 50%.A pathway for the catabolism of coniferyl alcohol, involving oxidation and shortening of the side chain, and of 4-methoxybenzoic acid and veratric acid with protocatechuic acid as intermediate is being proposed. A second one is proposed for the degradation of 3-methoxybenzoic acid with gentisic acid as intermediate. 相似文献

Vanillic acid at 0.2% concentration in the medium of Nocardia autotrophic DSM 43100 leads to cyclic production of guaiacol; protocatechuic and p-hydroxybenzoic acids as well as catechol appear at the same time in the medium instead of isovanillic acid, which accumulates at lower vanillic acid concentration. Transformation of catechol formed into guaiacol by methylation with formaldehyde, and successively into protocatechuic acid by carboxylation seems possible. Successive reactions of methylation/demethylation and carboxylation/decarboxylation result in cyclic production of guaiacol. 相似文献

The transformation ofmethoxy derivatives of benzoic acid 14C labelled in the ring or in the methoxyl or carboxyl groups were determined in the cultures of five selected strains of Nocardia autotrophica. It was shown that the transformation of vanillic acid to protocatechuic acid might proceed through guaiacol and isovanillic acid as intermediates. This metabolic conversion was found in three of the five bacterial strains examined. 相似文献

(lS)-Verbenone, (S)-perillyl acid, cinnamic acid, meta-nitrocinnamic acid, veratric acid and 2-naphthoic acid were prepared, at 1 mM scale, from the corresponding alcohols or aldehydes with whole cells of Nocardia corallina B-276, in yields from 19 to 71% (w/w). Similar microbiological oxidations gave poor yields with the heterocyclic alcohols: 3-pyridylmethanol, 4-flavanol and 4-chromanol. 相似文献

Transformation of veratric (3,4-dimethoxybenzoic) acid by the white rot fungus Phlebia radiata was studied to elucidate the role of ligninolytic, reductive, and demeth(ox)ylating enzymes. Under both air and a 100% O2 atmosphere, with nitrogen limitation and glucose as a carbon source, reducing activity resulted in the accumulation of veratryl alcohol in the medium. When the fungus was cultivated under air, veratric acid caused a rapid increase in laccase (benzenediol:oxygen oxidoreductase; EC 1.10.3.2) production, which indicated that veratric acid was first demethylated, thus providing phenolic compounds for laccase. After a rapid decline in laccase activity, elevated lignin peroxidase (ligninase) activity and manganese-dependent peroxidase production were detected simultaneously with extracellular release of methanol. This indicated apparent demethoxylation. When the fungus was cultivated under a continuous 100% O2 flow and in the presence of veratric acid, laccase production was markedly repressed, whereas production of lignin peroxidase and degradation of veratryl compounds were clearly enhanced. In all cultures, the increases in lignin peroxidase titers were directly related to veratryl alcohol accumulation. Evolution of 14CO2 from 3-O14CH3-and 4-O14CH3-labeled veratric acids showed that the position of the methoxyl substituent in the aromatic ring only slightly affected demeth(ox)ylation activity. In both cases, more than 60% of the total 14C was converted to 14CO2 under air in 4 weeks, and oxygen flux increased the degradation rate of the 14C-labeled veratric acids just as it did with unlabeled cultures. 相似文献

Acinetobacter sp. evolved 14CO2 from 14C-(ring)DHP lignin and 14C-teakwood lignin. Veratrylglycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether, a lignin model compound with beta-o-4 linkage was cleaved by Acinetobacter sp. Veratrylglycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether into 2(o-methoxyphenoxy) ethanol and veratrylalcohol 2(o-methoxyphenoxy) ethanol was degraded to guaiacol and then to catechol whereas veratrylalcohol was converted to veratraldehyde, veratric acid, vanillic acid, protocatechuic acid and catechol. Both catechol 1,2-dioxygenase and protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase were detected in veratrylglycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether grown cultures. 相似文献

Summary A trans-ferulic acid-utilizing Pseudomonas sp. HF-1 was isolated from soil samples. Mutant HF-1124, capable of growing on trans-ferulic acid but not on protocatechuic acid, was isolated from HF-1 after mutagenesis with nitrosoguanidine. The optimum temperature was 30°C and the optimum pH was 7.0–8.0 for protocatechuic acid production from trans-ferulic acid by mutant HF-1124. Protocatechuic acid production reached 4 g/l from a concentration of 8 g/l trans-ferulic acid. As a result of co-oxidation of methoxy aromatic compounds by strain HF-1124 grown on acetic acid, protocatechuic acid was formed from vanillin and vanillic acid, and vanillic acid and isovanillic acid were formed from veratric acid. By the co-oxidative demethylation of substituted monomethoxybenzene, m- and p-hydroxybenzoic acids were accumulated from m-and p-anisic acid, respectively, while no products were detected from anisole, o-anisic acid, nitroanisole, methylanisole, methoxyphenol and dimethoxybenzene. 相似文献

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The oxidation of xenobiotic-derived aromatic aldehydes with freshly prepared liver slices has not been previously reported. The present investigation compares the relative contribution of aldehyde oxidase, xanthine oxidase and aldehyde dehydrogenase activities in the oxidation of vanillin, isovanillin and protocatechuic aldehyde with freshly prepared liver slices. METHODS: Vanillin, isovanillin or protocatechuic aldehyde was incubated with liver slices in the presence/absence of specific inhibitors of each enzyme, followed by HPLC. RESULTS: Vanillin was rapidly converted to vanillic acid. Vanillic acid formation was completely inhibited by isovanillin (aldehyde oxidase inhibitor), whereas disulfiram (aldehyde dehydrogenase inhibitor) inhibited acid formation by 16% and allopurinol (xanthine oxidase inhibitor) had no effect. Isovanillin was rapidly converted to isovanillic acid. The formation of isovanillic acid was not altered by allopurinol, but considerably inhibited by disulfiram. Protocatechuic aldehyde was converted to protocatechuic acid at a lower rate than that of vanillin or isovanillin. Allopurinol only slightly inhibited protocatechuic aldehyde oxidation, isovanillin had little effect, whereas disulfiram inhibited protocatechuic acid formation by 50%. CONCLUSIONS: In freshly prepared liver slices, vanillin is rapidly oxidized by aldehyde oxidase with little contribution from xanthine oxidase or aldehyde dehydrogenase. Isovanillin is not a substrate for aldehyde oxidase and therefore it is metabolized to isovanillic acid predominantly by aldehyde dehydrogenase. All three enzymes contribute to the oxidation of protocatechuic aldehyde to its acid. 相似文献

The ability of 16 Fusarium species to degrade polyphenols was investigated. Phenols, benzoic acids, cinnamic acids, flavonoids and isoflavones are efficiently catabolized by all strains investigated. o-coumaric acid is transformed into 4-hydroxycoumarin by 7 species. A pronounced capability for methyl ether cleavage is demonstrated by stepwise o-demethylation of veratric acid and 5,7,4′-trimethoxyisoflavone. The latter compound is degraded via the sequence: 5,7,4′-trimethoxyisoflavone → 5,4′-dimethoxy-7-hydroxyisoflavone → biochanin A → genistein → orobol → ring fission products. 相似文献

Nocardia autotrophica was grown in a medium containing ferulic acid and 14C-ferulic acid, labelled in various parts of a particle as a main carbon source. After incubation, the products were analyzed by thin layer, high performance liqid and gas chromatography and by IR and NMR spectra methods. The products detected were caffeic acid, catechol, coniferyl alcohol, eugenol, guaiacol, hydrocaffeic acid, isoeugenol, isoferulic acid, isovanillic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, protocatechuic acid and aldehyde, vanillic acid, and vinylguaiacol. A liberation of 14CO2 during cultivation was noticed. 相似文献

Pseudomonas fluorescens was grown on mineral salts media with phenol, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-hydroxy-phenylacetic acid, or p-hydroxy-trans-cinnamic acid as sole carbon and energy source. Each compound was first hydroxylated, ortho to the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring, to give catechol, protocatechuic acid (3,4-dihydroxy-benzoic acid), homoprotocatechuic acid (3,4-dihydroxy-phenylacetic acid), and caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxy-trans-cinnamic acid), respectively, as the ultimate aromatic products before cleavage of the benzene nucleus. Protocatechuic acid and caffeic acid were shown to be cleaved by ortho fission, via a 3,4-oxygenase mechanism, to give beta-substituted cis, cis-muconic acids as the initial aliphatic products. However, catechol and homoprotocatechuic acid were cleaved by meta fission, by 2,3-and 4,5-oxygenases, respectively, to give alpha-hydroxy-muconic semialdehyde and alpha-hydroxy-gamma-carboxymethyl muconic semialdehyde as initial aliphatic intermediates. Caffeic acid: 3,4-oxygenase, a new oxygenase, consumes 1 mole of O(2) per mole of substrate and has an optimal pH of 7.0. The mechanism of cleavage of enzymes derepressed for substituted catechols by P. fluorescens apparently changes from ortho to meta with the increasing nephelauxetic (electron donor) effect of the side-chain substituent. 相似文献

Four thermotolerant actinomycetes from soil, identified as Streptomyces albulus 321, Streptomyces sioyaensis P5, Streptomyces viridosporus T7A, and Streptomyces sp. V7, were grown at 45°C in media containing either benzoic acid or hydroxyl- and methoxyl-substituted benzoic acids as the principal carbon sources. Benzoic acid was converted to catechol; p-hydroxybenzoic, vanillic, and veratric acids were converted to protocatechuic acid; and m-hydroxybenzoic acid was converted to gentisic acid. Catechol, protocatechuic acid, and gentisic acid were cleaved by catechol 1,2-dioxygenase, protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase, and gentisate 1,2-dioxygenase, respectively. Dioxygenases appeared only in induced cultures. m-Hydroxybenzoic, m-anisic, and p-anisic acids were gratuitous inducers of dioxygenases in some strains. One strain converted vanillic acid to guaiacol. 相似文献

The gene encoding the large subunit of the methylmalonyl-coenzyme A (CoA) mutase in Nocardia corallina (mutBNc) was cloned. A 4.3-kbp BamHI fragment containing almost the entire mutBNc was identified by Southern hybridization experiments employing a digoxigenin-labeled probe deduced from mutB of Streptomyces cinnamonensis, mutBNc was interrupted by insertion of a kanamycin resistance gene block (mutB::kan or mutB::neo) and introduced into N. corallina to obtain mutB-negative strains by homologous recombination. Four of sixteen kanamycin-resistant clones occurred via double-crossover events and harbored only the interrupted mutBNc. These exhibited no growth on odd-chain fatty acids in the presence of kanamycin but exhibited wild-type growth on even-chain fatty acids, glucose, and succinate. Whereas the wild type of N. corallina accumulates a copolyester of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB) and 3-hydroxyvalerate (3HV) containing more than 60 mol% 3HV from most carbon sources, mutB-negative strains accumulated poly(3HB-co-3HV) containing only 2 to 6 mol% 3HV. Methylmalonyl-CoA mutase activity was not found in these clones. Therefore, this study provides strong evidence that the majority of 3HV units in poly(3HB-co-3HV) accumulated by N. corallina are synthesized via the methylmalonyl-CoA pathway. 相似文献

Summary The ability of rhizobia to utilize catechol, protocatechuic acid, salicylic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid and catechin was investigated.
The degradation pathway of p-hydroxybenzoate byRhizobium japonicum, R. phaseoli, R. leguminosarum, R. trifolii andRhizobium sp. isolated from bean was also studied.R. leguminosarum, R. phaseoli andR. trifolii metabolized p-hydroxybenzoate to protocatechuate which was cleaved by protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenasevia ortho pathway.R. japonicum degraded p-hydroxybenzoate to catechol which was cleaved by catechol 1,2-dioxygenase.Rhizobium sp., a bean isolate, dissimilatedp-hydroxybenzoate to salicylate. Salicylate was converted to gentisic acid prior to ring cleavage. The rhizobia convertedp-hydroxybenzoate to Rothera positive substance. Catechol and protocatechuic acid were directly cleaved by the species.R. japonicum converted catechin to protocatechuic acid. 相似文献

Complete degradation of the lignin model compound veratrylglycerol-beta-(o-methoxyphenyl) ether is accomplished mutualistically by a two-membered bacterial culture. Bacterial isolate E1, which has been tentatively identified as an Acinetobacter, grows on veratrylglycerol-beta-(o-methoxyphenyl) ether producing guaiacol (o-methoxyphenol) as a non-metabolizable, bacteriocidal by-product. When Nocardia corallina (strain A81) is also present in media containing veratrylglycerol-beta-(o-methoxyphenyl) ether as the only carbon/energy source, it is able to grow on the guaiacol produced from veratrylglycerol-beta-(o-methoxyphenyl) ether by isolate E1. Strain A81 alone does not grow on veratrylglycerol-beta-(o-methoxyphenyl) ether. In the absence of strain A81, isolate E1 is rapidly killed by accumulated guaiacol. In the presence of the Nocardia, isolate E1 maintains its viability. 相似文献

A number of thermophilic bacteria capable of utilizing naphthalene as a sole source of carbon were isolated from a high-temperature
oilfield in Lithuania. These isolates were able to utilize several other aromatic compounds, such as anthracene, benzene,
phenol, benzene-1, 3-diol, protocatechuic acid as well. Thermophilic isolate G27 ascribed to Geobacillus genus was found to have a high aromatic compound degrading capacity. Spectrophotometric determination of enzyme activities
in cell-free extracts revealed that the last aromatic ring fission enzyme in naphthalene biotransformation by Geobacillus sp. G27 was inducible via protocatechuate 3, 4-dioxygenase; no protocatechuate 4, 5-dioxygenase, protocatechuate 2, 3-dioxygenase activities were detected.
Intermediates such as o-phthalic and protocatechuic acids detected in culture supernatant confirmed that the metabolism of
naphthalene by Geobacillus sp. G27 can proceed through protocatechuic acid via ortho-cleavage pathway and thus differs from the pathways known for mesophilic bacteria. 相似文献

The actinomycete Streptomyces setonii 75Vi2 demethylates vanillic acid and guaiacol to protocatechuic acid and catechol, respectively, and then metabolizes the products by the β-ketoadipate pathway. UV spectroscopy showed that this strain could also metabolize veratrole (1,2-dimethoxybenzene). When grown in veratrole-containing media supplemented with 2,2′-dipyridyl to inhibit cleavage of the aromatic ring, S. setonii accumulated catechol, which was detected by both liquid chromatography and gas chromatography. Reduced cell extracts from veratrole-grown cultures, but not sodium succinate-grown cultures, produced a carbon monoxide difference spectrum with a peak at 450 nm that indicated the presence of soluble cytochrome P-450. Addition of veratrole or guaiacol to oxidized cell extracts from veratrole-grown cultures produced difference spectra that indicated that these compounds were substrates for cytochrome P-450. My results suggest that S. setonii produces a cytochrome P-450 that is involved in the demethylation of veratrole and guaiacol to catechol, which is then catabolized by the β-ketoadipate pathway. 相似文献

A bacterium was isolated by elective culture with p-hydroxybenzoate as substrate and nitrate as electron acceptor. It grew either aerobically or anaerobically, by nitrate respiration, on a range of aromatic compounds. The organism was identified as a pseudomonad and was given the trivial name Pseudomonas PN-1. Benzoate and p-hydroxybenzoate were metabolized aerobically via protocatechuate, followed by meta cleavage catalyzed by protocatechuic acid-4,5-oxygenase, to yield alpha-hydroxy-gamma-carboxymuconic semialdehyde. Pseudomonas PN-1 grew rapidly on p-hydroxybenzoate under strictly anaerobic conditions, provided nitrate was present, even though protocatechuic acid-4,5-oxygenase was repressed. Suspensions of cells grown anaerobically on p-hydroxybenzoate oxidized benzoate with nitrate and produced 4 to 5 mumoles of CO(2) per mumole of benzoate added; these cells did not oxidize benzoate aerobically. The patterns of the oxidation of aromatic substrates with oxygen or nitrate by cells grown aerobically or anaerobically on different aromatic compounds indicated that benzoate rather than protocatechuate was a key intermediate in the early stages of anaerobic metabolism. It was concluded that the pathway for the anaerobic breakdown of the aromatic ring is different and quite distinct from the aerobic pathway. Mechanisms for the anaerobic degradation of the benzene nucleus by Pseudomonas PN-1 are discussed. 相似文献

Abstract The degradation of veratraldehyde by Alcaligenes paradoxus was studied. Three products, veratric acid, vanillic acid and a minor amount of veratryl alcohol, were identified. The effect of various metabolic inhibitors on the uptake of veratraldehyde, veratric and vanillic acid showed the uptake process to be energy-dependent. The NAD+ -dependent enzyme responsible for the conversion of veratraldehyde to veratric acid has been separated from veratryl alcohol-oxidizing enzyme. 相似文献
