Microbial metabolism of mandelate: a microcosm of diversity.

C A Fewson1.   

Abstract

This review highlights the diversity of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms that can metabolise mandelate and it describes how a wide range of compounds related to mandelate is formed in many environments. The chief aspects that are summarised include the various pathways whereby mandelate and its structural analogues are converted into catechol or protocatechuate, the properties of the enzymes that are involved in the pathways, and the regulation and genetics of the pathways. The review incorporates the idea that the study of peripheral metabolic pathways is particularly useful for illuminating evolutionary speculations and it concludes with a list of questions that need to be answered.
