Abstract

Phenylacetic acid (PA) degradation in bacteria involves an aerobic hybrid pathway encoded by the gene cluster. It is shown here that succinyl-CoA is one of the final products of this pathway in and . Moreover, and studies revealed that the gene encodes the -ketoadipyl-CoA thiolase that catalyses the last step of the PA catabolic pathway, i.e. the thiolytic cleavage of -ketoadipyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA. Succinyl-CoA is suggested as a common final product of aerobic hybrid pathways devoted to the catabolism of aromatic compounds.
