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

儿茶素是植物体内的次生代谢产物，也是缩合单宁的主要前体。缩合单宁是仅次于木质素的第二大芳香生物量。因此，如何分解和碳循环利用由植物、土壤微生物大量产生的儿茶素是人们非常感兴趣的问题。在本研究中，我们描述了OX-01可以通过紫杉酯将()-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解反应设计缩合单宁的原料生产系统是可能的。

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.
