The metabolism of aromatic compounds in higher plants. IV. Purification and properties of the phenylalanine deaminase of Hordeum vulgare.
The biosynthesis of certain benzenoid compounds found in plants, such as the hydroxycinnamic acids, lignin, flavonoids, and coumarins, has recently been actively investigated. In his review (1) on the biosynthesis of these secondary plant products, Neish points out that the results of tracer experiments show the hydroxycinnamic acids to be important precursors in the formation of lignin and oth...
متن کاملAnaerobic metabolism of aromatic compounds.
Aromatic compounds comprise a wide variety of natural and synthetic compounds that can serve as substrates for bacterial growth. So far, four types of aromatic metabolism are known. (1) The aerobic aromatic metabolism is characterized by the extensive use of molecular oxygen as cosubstrate for oxygenases that introduce hydroxyl groups and cleave the aromatic ring. (2) In the presence of oxygen,...
متن کاملFat Metabolism in Higher Plants
The discovery and isolation of the multienzyme system responsible for p oxidation of fatty acids to acetyl CoA’ have stimulated investigation of the synthesis of long chain fatty acids by multiple @ condensation of the acetyl CoA. In 1953 Van Baalen and Gurin (1) were the first to demonstrate that acetate was incorporated into fatty acids by aqueous extracts of pigeon liver. In 1953 Stansly and...
متن کاملMetabolism of aromatic compounds by Caulobacter crescentus.
Cultures of Caulobacter crescentus were found to grow on a variety of aromatic compounds. Degradation of benzoate, p-hydroxybenzoate, and phenol was found to occur via beta-ketoadipate. The induction of degradative enzymes such as benzoate 1,2-dioxygenase, the ring cleavage enzyme catechol 1,2-dioxygenase, and cis, cis-muconate lactonizing enzyme appeared similar to the control mechanism presen...
متن کاملDegradation of aromatic compounds in plants grown under aseptic conditions.
The aim of the work is to investigate the ability of higher plants to absorb and detoxify environmental pollutants - aromatic compounds via aromatic ring cleavage. Transformation of 14C specifically labelled benzene derivatives, [1-6-14C]-nitrobenzene, [1-6-(14)C]-aniline, [1-(14)C]- and [7-(14)C]-benzoic acid, in axenic seedlings of maize (Zea mays L.), kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), pea...
