| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In Sphingobium sp. strain SYK-6, a model bacterium for the lignin catabolism, the beta-arylether dimer is converted to vanilloyl acetic acid via the reductive ether cleavage. The resultant vanilloyl acetic acid is then subjected a non-enzymatic decarboxylation to generate acetovanillone. Here, we determined the catabolic pathway of acetovanillone and also identified the genes responsible for the first step of acetvaillone catabolism. In SYK-6, acetovanillone is initially carboxylated to produce vanilloyl acetic acid by a multiple component enzyme, AcdABCDEF, and then further converted to vanillate via the formation of coenzyme A ester. These findings enable us to understand the overview of beta-arylether catabolic pathway for the first time, and are also valuable for the biological lignin valorization.
