Anaerobic activation of p-cymene in denitrifying betaproteobacteria: methyl group hydroxylation versus addition to fumarate.

Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 80(24) , 7592-603, (2014)

The betaproteobacteria "Aromatoleum aromaticum" pCyN1 and "Thauera" sp. strain pCyN2 anaerobically degrade the plant-derived aromatic hydrocarbon p-cymene (4-isopropyltoluene) under nitrate-reducing conditions. Metabolite analysis of p-cymene-adapted "A. arom...
