Microbial degradation of aromatic compounds
Gibson DT. 1968. Microbial degradation of aromatic compounds. Science. 161(3846):1093-1097
...Interest in the microbial degradation of aromatic compounds centers on (i) the study of the metabolic intermediated involved in the degradation of different aromatic substrates, (ii) the elucidation of the enzymatic mechanisms of hydroxzlation and ring fission, and (iii) the relatively recent investigations into the control of the enzymes taking part in the metabolism of aromatic compounds. Several reviews are available on the first two areas (1-4). In this paper, only recent advances in the microbial degradation of aromatic compounds are discussed.
