Pelobacter acidigallici
Encyclopedia
Pelobacter acidigallici is the type species in the bacteria genus Pelobacter
.
P. acidigallici is able to degrade trihydroxybenzenes. The enzyme pyrogallol hydroxytransferase
uses 1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene
and 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene (pyrogallol
), whereas its two products are 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene (phloroglucinol
) and 1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene
. This enzyme can be found in P. acidigallici.

Pyrogallol hydroxytransferase
In enzymology, a pyrogallol hydroxytransferase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionThus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene and 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene , whereas its two products are 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene and 1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene.This enzyme...

Pyrogallol
Pyrogallol or benzene-1,2,3-triol is a benzenetriol. It is a white crystalline powder and a powerful reducing agent. It was first prepared by Scheele 1786 by heating gallic acid. An alternate preparation is heating para-chlorophenoldisulphonic acid with potassium hydroxide.When in alkaline...

Phloroglucinol
Phloroglucinol is a benzenetriol. It is an organic compound that is used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and explosives. This molecule exists in two forms, or tautomers, 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene, which has phenol-like, and 1,3,5-cyclohexanetrione , which has ketone-like character. These two...
