Metabolite Identification
Common Name3-chloro-cis,cis-muconic acid
Description3-chloro-cis,cis-muconic acid is a chlorinated derivative of muconic acid and belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acids. Its chemical structure features a six-carbon backbone with two carboxylic acid groups and a chlorine substituent at the third carbon, with the cis configuration around the double bonds. This compound is involved in microbial degradation pathways, particularly in the breakdown of chlorinated aromatic compounds. For instance, enzyme assays have demonstrated that catechol 1,2-dioxygenase can convert catechol and 4-chlorocatechol into cis,cis-muconic acid and 3-chloro-cis,cis-muconic acid, respectively, indicating its role in the biodegradation process (PMID:14600240 ). Additionally, research has identified an enzyme responsible for the cycloisomerization of 2- and 3-chloro-cis,cis-muconic acid isolated from Pseudomonas sp. grown on 3-chlorobenzoate, further underscoring its significance in microbial metabolic pathways (PMID:7305906 ).
