Anaerobic phloroglucinol degradation by Clostridium scatologenes

Abstract: Polyphenols are abundant in nature, and their anaerobic biodegradation by gut and soil bacteria is a topic of great interest. The O 2 requirement of phenol oxidases is thought to explain the microbial inertness of phenolic compounds in anoxic environments, such as peatlands, termed the enzyme latch hypothesis. A caveat of this model is that certain phenols are known to be degraded by strict anaerobic bacteria, although the biochemical basis for this process is incompletely understood. H… Show more

“…Parasporobacterium and Sporobacterium are soil bacteria that grow on methoxylated Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology frontiersin.org aromatic compounds as sole carbon and energy sources by catabolizing them to short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) (Lomans et al, 2001). These aromatics are degraded by transforming the side chains and cleaving the aromatic ring using the phloroglucinol pathway (Whitman, 2009), as has recently been shown for Clostridium scatologenes (Zhou et al, 2023).…”
