FIG. 7.
Reduction of acrylate group-containing compounds by caffeate-preinduced resting cells of A. woodii in the presence of H2 (A) or N2 (B). Cell suspensions of A. woodii (1.35 mg/ml) were incubated in imidazole-HCl buffer at 30°C in a shaking water bath. Caffeate, p-coumarate, and ferulate were added from stock solutions to a final concentration of 10 mM. Samples were withdrawn at the times indicated and analyzed to determine the caffeate (▴), p-coumarate (▾), and ferulate (▪) concentrations.
