Many aromatic compounds are anaerobically oxidized to CO2 via benzoyl‐CoA as the
common aromatic intermediate. In Thauera aromatica, the central benzoyl‐CoA pathway …

Aromatic compounds are important growth substrates for microorganisms. They form a large
group of diverse compounds including lignin monomers, amino acids, quinones, and …

Benzoyl‐CoA is a common intermediate in the anaerobic bacterial metabolism of many
aromatic substrates. Two enzymes and ferredoxin of the central benzoyl‐CoA pathway in …

Many aromatic compounds can be metabolized by bacteria under anoxic conditions via
benzoyl‐CoA as the common intermediate. The central pathway of benzoyl‐CoA …

Different anaerobic bacteria can oxidize a variety of aromatic compounds completely to CO2
via one common aromatic intermediate, benzoyl‐CoA. It has been postulated that …

Under anoxic conditions most aromatic compounds are metabolized via benzoyl‐CoA which
becomes reduced by benzoyl‐CoA reductase (dearomatizing); this enzyme was recently …

Benzoyl-CoA reductases (BCRs) are key enzymes of anaerobic aromatic metabolism in
facultatively anaerobic bacteria. The highly oxygen-sensitive enzymes catalyze the ATP …

Benzoyl‐coenzyme A is the most common central intermediate of anaerobic aromatic
metabolism. Studies with whole cells of different bacteria and in vitro had shown that …

The anaerobic metabolism of catechol (1, 2-dihydroxybenzene) was studied in the
betaproteobacterium Thauera aromatica that was grown with CO2 as a cosubstrate and …

A new principle of aerobic aromatic metabolism has been postulated, which is in contrast to
the known pathways. In various bacteria the aromatic substrate benzoate is first converted to …
