In the denitrifying bacterium Thauera aromatica, the central intermediate of anaerobic
aromatic metabolism, benzoyl-coenzyme A (CoA), is dearomatized by the ATP-dependent …

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

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 …

In anaerobic bacteria using aromatic growth substrates, glutaryl-coenzyme A (CoA)
dehydrogenases (GDHs) are involved in the catabolism of the central intermediate benzoyl …

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

In anaerobic bacteria, most aromatic growth substrates are channelled into the benzoyl‐
coenzyme A (CoA) degradation pathway where the aromatic ring is dearomatized and …

The degradation of aromatic compounds follows different biochemical principles in aerobic
and anaerobic microorganisms. While aerobes dearomatize and cleave the aromatic ring by …

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

Aromatic compounds are widely distributed in nature and can only be biomineralized by
microorganisms. In anaerobic bacteria, benzoyl-CoA (BCoA) is a central intermediate of …

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