Abstract: | An organism identified as Paracoccus denitrificans was isolated from an enrichment culture with furan-3-carboxylate as its sole source of carbon and energy. The organism degraded furan-3-carboxylate under aerobic and — in the presence of nitrate - under anaerobic conditions. The aerobic degradation was initiated by an oxygenase reaction to form probably 2-hydroxy-3-furoate. Under anaerobic conditions the first intermediate was 3-furoyl-CoA which was reduced by NADPH to probably 4,5-dihydro-furoyl-CoA. Succinic semialdehyde was an intermediate in both aerobic and anaerobic mechanism of furan-3-carboxylate.Abbreviations F-3-C
