Formation of o-succinylbenzoic acid from iso-chorismic acid in protein extracts from anthraquinone-producing plant cell suspension cultures

Enzyme preparations from cell cultures of three Galium species were shown to convert α-ketoglutaric add and iso-chorismic acid (but not chorismic acid) to o-succinylbenzoic acid, a precursor of anthraquinones.
