Novel methods for the in vivo production of phenol from renewable substrates using a recombinant microorganism (FIG.
1
). Additionally, methods for the in vivo production of catechol and cis,cis-muconic acid from renewable substrates using a recombinant microorganism are disclosed. A host cell expresses at least one gene encoding a polypeptide that possesses isochorismate synthase activity, at least one gene encoding a polypeptide that possesses isochorismate pyruvate lyase activity, and at least one gene encoding a polypeptide that possesses salicylic acid decarboxylase activity. In the case of catechol, the host cell must additionally express at least one gene encoding a polypeptide that possesses phenol 2-monooxy-genase activity. In the case of cis,cis-muconic acid, the host cell must additionally express at least one gene encoding a polypeptide that possesses phenol 2-monooxygenase activity and at least one gene encoding a polypeptide that possesses catechol-1,2-dioxygenase activity.
This invention relates to the field of biologically active compounds and specifically to novel aureothin derivatives, pharmaceutical compositions comprising these novel aureothin derivatives, methods for the production of the aureothin derivatives and their use as fungicide, antibiotic as well as antitumor agent.
