Responsiveness of Aromatoleum aromaticum EbN1 to Lignin-Derived Phenylpropanoids.

The betaproteobacterial degradation specialist EbN1 utilizes several plant-derived 3-phenylpropanoids coupled to denitrification. responsiveness of EbN1 was studied by exposing nonadapted cells to distinct pulses (spanning 100 M to 0.1 nM) of 3-phenylpropanoate, cinnamate, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate, or -coumarate.
