GENTISATE PATHWAY IN AROMATIC CATABOLISM / 微生物学通报

ABSTRACT

Gentisate (2,5 dihydroxybenzoate) pathway is one of three typical routes for bacterial aromatic catabolism Although it is less common than either of the extensively studied pathways through catechols, the gentisate pathway also plays an important role in bacterial aromatic catabolism This article reviews recent developments of this pathway, both in biochemistry and molecular biology
