Figure 6. Formation of p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate and homogentisate.

Figure 6

(A) The wild type (WT) and the ΔhmgX mutant were cultivated with (+) or without (-) addition of tyrosine. At the time points indicated, samples of the culture supernatant were taken and analyzed by HPLC to quantify formation of p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (pHPP) and homogentisate (HGA). (B) Strains ΔhmgA and ΔhmgXhmgA were cultivated in presence of tyrosine. Conversion of pHPP to HGA by protein crude extracts was monitored by HPLC.
