An Aromatic Intermediate in the Bacterial Oxidation of Quinic Acid Free

Abstract

SUMMARY: Strains of and spp. isolated from soil, utilized quinic acid as a sole source of carbon. Protocateehuic acid was produced as an intermediate in this oxidation. Protocateehuic acid was also produced in the course of oxidation of -hydroxybenzoic acid by these organisms. Sequential induction experiments indicate that p-hydroxybenzoic acid is not an intermediate in quinic acid oxidation by the organisms used.
