• Dienelactone hydrolases play a crucial role in chlorocatechol degradation via the modified ortho cleavage pathway. (inrae.fr)
  • Genomic analysis identified two orthologous operons encoding the ortho -cleavage of benzoic acid (BA) ( ben/cat ). (nature.com)
  • Ortho -phenylphenol (OPP) is used in the post-harvest treatment of fruits to control fungal infestations during storage 1 . (nature.com)
  • 6 identified a gene cluster, hbpCAD , encoding the upper metabolic pathway of OPP which involves the transformation of OPP to 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoateand benzoic acid (BA). (nature.com)
  • The downstream transformation of BA involved a meta -cleavage pathway, although its genetic organization and function was not revealed and the overall network of genes driving the full metabolic pathway of OPP is still not known. (nature.com)
  • They are converted enzymatically to the natural intermediates of degradation, for example catechol and protecatechuate (Fritsche and Hofrichter, 2000). (europa.eu)
