For this work, in vivo, in vitro, metagenomic, and metaproteomic studies were conducted with an anaerobic microbial community derived from sewage sludge that quantitatively produced toluene from phenylacetic
acid (via
decarboxylation).
Guaiacol and glyoxilic
acid enter condensation, its product enters extraction, its byproduct enters guaiacol recycle and its product enters oxidation with a catalyst, its product enters
decarboxylation, its product enters extraction, its product enters distillation, its product enters crystallization, its product enters drying, its product enters metal detection, and its product vanillin enters packing.
