Descrizione

4-Hydroxy-3-methylbenzyl alcohol (4MBA) is a natural product that is synthesized from 4-hydroxy-3-methylbenzaldehyde by a nonribosomal peptide synthetase. It has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the growth of certain bacteria, such as Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. It also inhibits the production of vanillyl alcohol, which is an intermediary metabolite in the biosynthesis of lignin. This compound utilizes energy sources such as glucose, glycerol, and formate for growth. 4MBA has been shown to undergo oxidation reactions with oxygen, nitrate, nitrite, and peroxide to produce benzoic acid derivatives. The gene knockout experiments show that this compound is involved in the utilization of various carbon sources and its specific growth rate is increased by 500%.
