Many microorganisms are able to use plant-derived aromatic and cyclic compounds like the common plant secondary metabolite quinic acid as carbon and energy sources. In fungi, three enzymatic steps convert quinic acid into the common intermediate protocatechuic acid, which is then further converted into TCA cycle intermediates. The genes encoding these thr ...

Bacteria and fungi catabolize plant-derived aromatic compounds by funneling into one of seven dihydroxylated aromatic intermediates, which then undergo ring fission and conversion to TCA cycle intermediates. Two of these intermediates, protocatechuic acid and catechol, converge on ß-ketoadipate which is further cleaved to succinyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA. Thes ...

Fungi play a critical role in the global carbon cycle by degrading plant polysaccharides to small sugars and metabolizing them as carbon and energy sources. We mapped the well-established sugar metabolic network of Aspergillus niger to five taxonomically distant species (Aspergillus nidulans, Pen ...
