Genomic Analysis of Microbulbifer sp. Strain A4B-17 and the Characterization of Its Metabolic Pathways for 4-Hydroxybenzoic Acid Synthesis
The marine bacterium Microbulbifer sp. A4B-17 produces secondary metabolites such as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4HBA) and esters of 4HBA (parabens). 4HBA is a useful material in the synthesis of the liquid crystal. Parabens are man-made compounds that have been extensively used since the 1920s in the co...
