“…The conversion of ferulic acid into vanillic acid was also observed for the ascomycete fungi A. niger (Lesage-Meessen et al, 1996) and Botrytis, Cephalosporium, Penicillium, Trichoderma, and Verticillium species (Henderson & Farmer, 1955), indicating that this metabolic step is present in both fungal phyla. An alternative pathway in which ferulic acid was decarboxylated into 4-vinyl guaiacol, followed by oxidation of this compound to vanillin and vanillic acid, was described in the basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune (Ghosh, Sachan, & Mitra, 2005;Tsujiyama & Ueno, 2008) and the ascomycetes Paecilomyces variotii (Rahouti, Seigle-Murandi, Steiman, & Eriksson, 1989) and F. solani (Nazareth & Mavinkurve, 1986). This pathway was also described for the ascomycete Sporotrichum thermophile (Myceliophthora thermophila), although it was suggested to convert 4-vinyl guaiacol into vanillic acid (Topakas, Kalogeris, Kekos, Macris, & Christakopoulos, 2003).…”

The ester-linked ferulic acid of wheat bran and sugar-beet pulp can be con¨erted to¨anillin using biological transformation. Free ferulic acid from sugar-beet pulp and from wheat bran was almost quantitati¨ely obtained by extensi¨e degradation of the cell-walls using enzyme mixtures complemented with specific ferulic acid esterases. The Basidiomycete Pycnoporus cinnabarinus then con¨erted the released ferulic acid to¨anillin. The selection of stable and highly producti¨e strains was achie¨ed using formal ( ) genetics. The use of cellobiose as an acti¨ator of the¨anillin pathway, and the sequential addition of a precursor ferulic acid in cultures of selected P. cinnabarinus strains, allowed 90 and 300 mg r L of¨anillin to be obtained from ferulic acid enzymically released from wheat bran and sugar-beet pulp, respecti¨ely. This process was adapted into a two-step process in¨ol¨ing two filamentous fungi, Aspergillus niger and P. cinnabarinus, with complementary capabilities of transformation.

Aims Ferulic acid (FA) accumulates in soil and inhibits plant growth. We examined whether the FA-degrading bacterium Bacillus methylotrophicus degrades FA in soil. Methods B. methylotrophicus strain CSY-F1 was isolated and applied to unplanted soil and soil planted with Cucumis sativus (cucumber). We analyzed the effects of B. methylotrophicus on rhizosphere enzyme activities and antioxidant enzyme activities in cucumber and CSY-F1 exposed to FA. Results CSY-F1 degraded FA in culture medium and in soil, giving rise to 4-vinyl guaiacol, vanillin, vanillic acid, and protocatechuic acid. When cucumber seedlings were grown in soil treated with FA, the activities of some soil enzymes decreased, and the malonaldehyde content in cucumber leaves increased. The addition of CSY-F1 to FA-treated soil increased the activities of these soil enzymes, decreased the FA concentration in the soil, and elevated the activities of some antioxidant enzymes in seedlings. Moreover, the levels of superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide, and malonaldehyde were reduced in cucumber leaves. FA treatment increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase, catalase, and monodehydroascorbate, in CSY-F1. Conclusion Bacillus methylotrophicus CSY-F1 has potential applications as an FA-degrading agent in soil, as it mitigates FA stress in cucumber seedlings by activating several antioxidant and soil enzymes.
