Pathway Description
Curcumin Degradation
Escherichia coli
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
