Gallate is used in photographic ink, dyeing, paper manufacture, and engraving and lithography.
The initial step in the anaerobic gallate pathway used by Eubacterium oxidoreducens G41 is the decarboxylation of the ring (Krumholz et al., 1987).
Oxidation of formate or hydrogen is required for growth on gallate to provide electrons for reduction of the ring prior to ring cleavage (Haddock and Ferry, 1989).
