Abstract
A strain of Acinetobacter lwoffii degraded 4-hydroxymandelic and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxymandelic acids to their corresponding benzoates, which were then hydroxylated by specific monooxygenases to yield, respectively, protocatechuic and 3-O-methylgallic acids; these were substrates for meta fission dioxygenases. The product formed from 3-O-methylgallate underwent slow spontaneous cyclization at pH 7 to release methanol.
