Adenosine triphosphate + Benzoate + Coenzyme A ↔ Adenosine monophosphate + Benzoyl-CoA + diphosphate
Benzoate (→) Transport: Bacteroides intestinalis, Extracellular Space to Bacteroides intestinalis, Cell, Cytoplasm
Benzoyl-CoA + Hydrogen Ion + NADPH + Oxygen ↔ 2,3-Epoxy-2,3-dihydrobenzoyl-CoA + NADP + Water
2,3-Epoxy-2,3-dihydrobenzoyl-CoA + 2 Water ↔ 3,4-Didehydroadipyl-CoA semialdehyde + Formic acid
5-Carboxy-2-pentenoyl-CoA + Water ↔ (3S)-3-Hydroxyadipyl-CoA
(3S)-3-Hydroxyadipyl-CoA + NAD ↔ 3-Oxoadipyl-CoA + Hydrogen Ion + NADH
3-Oxoadipyl-CoA + Succinic acid ↔ 3-Oxoadipic acid + Succinyl-CoA
3,4-Didehydroadipyl-CoA semialdehyde → 5-Carboxy-2-pentenoyl-CoA
