Design a system of raw material production from condensed tannin by using microbial function and acidic decompose reactions.

儿茶素是黄酮类化合物中的一种，是植物的次生代谢产物，是浓缩单宁的主要前体，是继木质素之后含量第二丰富的芳香生物质。因此，我们非常感兴趣的是如何分解和碳循环儿茶素，这些儿茶素是由植物和土壤微生物大量产生的。在本研究中，我们描述了OX-01可以通过taxifolin将(+)-儿茶素和(-)-表儿茶素转化为原儿茶酸。这些结果表明，利用微生物功能和酸分解反应设计缩合单宁原料生产体系是可能的。

Catechin, that is one of the flavonoids, is secondary metabolite of plants, and is major precursor of condensed tannin that was the second most abundant aromatic biomass following lignin. Thus, it is very interested that how decomposed and carbon recycled the catechin, that was produced in large quantities by plants, by soil micro-organisms. In this study, we described that the OX-01 could convert(+)-catechin and(-)-epicatechin to protocatechuic acid via taxifolin. These results suggested that it is possible to design a system of raw material production from condensed tannin by using microbial function and acidic decompose reactions.
