Proposed pathway of vanillic acid degradation linked with the RuMP formaldehyde fixation pathway in B. cepacia TM1. Formaldehyde derived from vanillic acid is incorporated into the RuMP pathway. Ribulose-5-phosphate, the acceptor of formaldehyde, may be regenerated from fructose-6-phosphate as in the RuMP pathway of methylotrophs. Enzyme 1, vanillin dehydrogenase; enzyme 2, vanillic acid demethylase.
