[O-demethylation and metabolism of the methoxyl group of vanillic acid, monomer model of lignin, by the rumen bacterium Syntrophococcus sucromutans].
The O-demethylation of a lignin monomer by washed cells of the rumen bacterium S sucromutans was studied using chemically synthesized O-[methyl-14C]vanillate. During cometabolism of pyruvate and vanillate, the label from the methoxyl group was incorporated into acetate, the sole product, which was singly labeled in the methyl group.
