SYNTHESIS OF 1,2,3,4-TETRAHYDROXYBENZENES AND 1,2,3-TRIHYDROXYBENZENES USING MYO-INOSITOL-1-PHOSPHATE SYNTHASE AND MYO-INOSITOL 2-DEHYDROGENASE

摘要

A bioengineered synthesis scheme for the production of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroxybenzene from a carbon source is provided. Methods of producing 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroxybenzene acid from a carbon source based on the synthesis scheme are also provided. Methods are also provided for converting 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroxybenzene to 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene by catalytic hydrogenation.
