Summary Introduction

 To review:

The comparison of aerobic and anaerobic processes of benzoate catabolism.

Introduction:

Aromatic compounds such as benzene derivatives, lignin, and other polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons can also be degraded by the TCA (Tricarboxylic acid) cycle. Aromatic catabolism by bacteria and fungi is used for bioremediation. These aromatic compounds can be degraded aerobically as well as anaerobically.
