Abstract:Bacillus licheniformis strain TAB7 is a bacterium used as a commercial deodorizing agent for compost in Japan. In this work, its ability to biotransform the following monocyclic phenolic compounds was assessed: ferulate, vanillate, p-coumarate, caffeate, protocatechuate, syringate, vanillin, and cinnamate (a precursor for some phenolic compounds). These compounds are abundant in composting material and are reported to have allelopathic properties. They come from sources such as plant material decomposition or … Show more
