A number of laboratory strains and clinical isolates of E. coli utilized several aromatic acids as sole sources of C for growth. E. coli K-12 used separate reactions to convert 3-phenylpropionic and 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acids into 3-(2,3-dihydroxphenyl)propionic acid which, after meta-fission of the benzene nucleus, gave succinate, pyruvate and acetaldehyde as products. Enzyme assays and respirometry showed that all enzymes of this branched pathway were inducible and that syntheses of enzymes required to convert the 2 initial growth substrates into 3-(2,3-dihydroxyphenyl)propionate are under separate control. E. coli K-12 also grew with 3-hydroxycinnamic acid as sole source of C; the ability of cells to oxidize cinnamic and 3-phenylpropionic acids and hydroxylated derivatives was investigated. The lactone of 4-hydroxy-2-ketovaleric acid was isolated from enzymatic reaction mixtures and its properties, including optical activity, were rcorded.
