Abstract

Cell-free extracts prepared from a Pseudomonas sp. grown on (+)-catechin oxidized taxifolin in the presence of NAD(P)H and molecular oxygen. The enzyme catalysing the reaction was partially purified and shown to be a flavoprotein. The product was identified as 3′,4′,5,7,8-pentahydroxyflavanonol (dihydrogossypetin).
