title: Degradation of gallic acid by Aspergillus flavus.
abstract: 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.
