Stereoinversion via alcohol dehydrogenases enables complete catabolism of β-1-type lignin-derived aromatic isomers

R. Kato, K. Maekawa, S. Kobayashi, S. Hishiyama, R. Katahira, M. Nambo, Y. Higuchi, E. Kuatsjah, G. T. Beckham, N. Kamimura, E. Masai

This paper identifies the catabolic pathway for threo-DGPD in SYK-6, showing it is converted to erythro-DGPD via oxidation and reduction by multiple dehydrogenases, enabling complete catabolism of all four β-1-type lignin-derived isomers.
