Degradation of gallic acid by Aspergillus flavus.
Aspergillus flavus utilized gallic acid as sole carbon source and increased in presence of glucose and sucrose. The enzymes were inducible in nature and during degradation of gallic acid. 4-carboxy, 2-hydroxy cis, cis-muconic acid and pyruvic acid were detected. The estradiol (meta) fission of gallic acid by A. flavus was postulated.
