1.1.1.282	pharmacology	enzymes of the shikimate pathway has been promoted as a target for the development of antimicrobial agents	
1.1.1.282	synthesis	enzyme YdiB displays a clear activity on quinate, with either NADP+ or NAD+ as a cofactor in addition to shikimate, making this enzyme an important candidate for quinate production. Production of shikimate, quinate, 3-dehydroshikimate and other aromatic derivatives in strain PB12.SA22 during batch culture fermentation
