Description

Metabolism of shikimic and quicic acids in Pseudomonas ovalis is described. Shikimic acid can be metabolized via 5-dehydroshikimic acid to protocatechuic acid, while quinic acid seems to be converted to 5-dehydroquinic acid, 5-dehydroshikimic acid and protocatechuic acid in due order. Some of protocatechuic acid may be transformed into its ester. Oxygen uptake of shikimic and quinic acids has been observed, and there is no significant difference in the oxidation of these acids. Shikimic acid can easily be converted to 5-dehydroshikimic acid, while 5-dehydroshikimic acid forms trace of shikimic acid. <br>From these results it may be concluded that quinic and shikimic acids are of same significance in this organism.
