| Abstract: | The conversion of p-coumaric acid to p-hydroxybenzoic acid was demonstrated in vitro in both potato tuber and P. hispidus. The mechanism of the enzyme system is non-oxidative. This is the first report of a cell free system which is capable of converting a C6-C3 acid to the corresponding C6-C1 derivative from a fungus. |
