Abstract:3,4-Dihydroxybenzoate (protocatechuate, PCA) is a phenolic compound naturally found in edible vegetables and medicinal herbs. PCA is of interest in the chemical industry as a building block for novel polymers and has wide potential for pharmaceutical applications due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties. In the present study, we designed and constructed a novel Corynebacterium glutamicum strain to enable the efficient utilization of D-xylose for microbial production of PCA. The engin… Show more
