Cleavage of the arylglycerol‐β‐aryl ether linkage is the most important process in the biological degradation of lignin. We determined the activity of the enzyme cleaving the β‐aryl ether linkage in membranes ofPseudomonas paucimobilisSYK‐6. This enzyme was tightly associated with the cellular membrane and catalyzed the unique and reductive cleavage of compound II but not cleavage of compound I. This enzymatic activity was stimulated by addition of NADH. On the basis of this evidence, we present a model of the specific cellular assimilation of β‐aryl ether byP. paucimobilisSYK‐6.
