Dissimilation of the lignin model compound veratrylglycerol-beta-(o-methoxyphenyl) ether by Pseudomonas acidovorans: initial transformations.
The initial transformadomonas acidovorans are demethylation of the 4-methoxyl group of the 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl portion of the molecule, and a NAD+-linked dehydrogenation of the benzyl alcohol group. Based on these findings and those described before, an overall degradation scheme is postulated.
