Abstract
Cell-free extracts prepared from a Pseudomonas sp., grown on (+)-catechin, oxidized dihydrogossypetin (3′,4′,5,7,8-pentahydroxyflavanonol) by cleaving the A-ring to form oxaloacetic acid from C-5, C-6, C-7 and C-8 together with 5-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-4-hydroxy-3-oxovalero-δ-lactone. The structure of this lactone was confirmed by synthesis of related phenylvalerolactones.
