Uses
Guaiacylglycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether is a model compound of lignin monomers that can be degraded by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CotA[1].
Definition
ChEBI: Guaiacylglycerol-beta-guaiacyl ether is a glycerol ether in which guaiacyl and guaiacylglycerol subunits are joined by an arylglycerol-beta-aryl (beta-O-4) linkage. It is functionally related to a guaiacol.
