Table I.
Amounts of catechol degraded and cis,cis-muconic acid detected within VT and CT plants
Amounts of catechol degraded were calculated by deducting the amount of the catechol left in medium at the end of incubation from the amount of catechol added initially into medium, and the amount of cis,cis-muconic acid accumulated in plants was calculated according to HPLC data. The data represent mean ± sd (n = 3).
