Pathway Description

Curcumin Degradation

Methylibium sp. Pch-M

Metabolic Pathway

Curcumin is metabolized by being reduced through a NADPH dependent curcumin reductase resulting in a dihydrocurcumin. This compound is then reduced again through a NADPH-dependent dihydrocurcumin reductase resulting in a tetrahydrocurcumin. It is not know yet how this compound enters E.coli
