| Remarks | ・Incubation of caffeic acid with Eubacterium sp. strain SDG-2 Caffeic acid (50 mg in 1 ml MeOH) was anaerobically incubated with a bacterial suspension (100 ml) for 2 d. The reaction mixture was then treated as usual to give 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propionic acid (8 mg) and 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid (10 mg). [Wang et al., Chem. Pharm.
