Catabolism of Alkylphenols in Rhodococcus via a Meta-Cleavage Pathway Associated With Genomic Islands
The bacterial catabolism of aromatic compounds has considerable promise to convert lignin depolymerization products to commercial chemicals. Alkylphenols are a key class of depolymerization products whose catabolism is not well-elucidated. We isolated Rhodococcus rhodochrous EP4 on 4-ethylphenol and...
