Abstract
A method of producing THB with improved efficiency is provided. Provided is a method of producing trihydroxybenzene (THB), the method comprising a step of heating a bacterial culture liquid comprising deoxy-scyllo-inosose (DOI) at a high temperature of no lower than 80° C. to obtain a product solution comprising trihydroxybenzene (THB).
Claims6
A method of producing trihydroxybenzene (THB), the method comprising a step of heating a bacterial culture liquid comprising deoxy-scyllo-inosose (DOI) at a high temperature of 130 to 180° C. to obtain a product solution comprising trihydroxybenzene (THB),
- wherein the method further comprises, before the heating, a step of culturing a DOI-synthesizing bacteria in a liquid culture medium under a DOI-synthesizing condition,
- wherein the liquid culture medium after the culturing, without purifying the DOI or only with removal of the bacteria, provides the bacterial culture liquid to be heated.
