Methoxyhydroquinone, an Intermediate of Vanillate Catabolism by Polyporus dichrous

T Kent Kirk 1, L F Lorenz 1
PMCID: PMC379746  PMID: 4743870

Abstract

Vanillate was metabolized by Polyporus dichrous in liquid culture via methoxyhydroquinone. Protocatechuate, gentisate, and hydroquinone were not affected by vanillate-metabolizing mycelial pellets that readily degraded methoxyhydroquinone.
