Aromatic compounds metabolism. Scheme of the aromatic compounds catabolic pathways: I) β-ketoadipate pathway, II) phenylacetate pathway, III) 2-hydroxypentadienoate pathway, IV) gentisate pathway, V) homogentisate pathway), VI) hydroxyquinol pathway, VII) homoprotocatechuate pathway, and VIII) a pathway found in R. jostii RHA1 comprising a hydroxylase, an extradiol dioxygenase, and a hydrolase. Peripheral pathways are depicted outside the external ring. The “X” indicates the inability of R. ruber to grow in the presence of these compounds as single source of carbon and energy
