[Pathways of benzoic acid dissimilation in "enterobacteriaceae" (author's transl)].
The Enterobacteriaceae can be divided into two groups with respect to the benzoic acids metabolism. In the first group, benzoate and/or p-hydroxybenzoate are dissimilated through the beta-ketoadipate pathway and m-hydroxybenzoate through the gentisate pathway; in the second one, are clustered species which do not dissimilate these aromatic acids. The possible taxonomic significance of this divergence is discussed.
