2-Hydroxybenzoyl Coenzyme A, Lithium salt

2-hydroxybenzoyl Coenzyme A is an important intermediate in the bacterial degradation of aromatic compounds, particularly in the metabolism of benzoate and other related compounds. It is formed through the conjugation of 2-hydroxybenzoic acid with coenzyme A and plays a role in the biosynthesis of various aromatic metabolites. In certain microbial species, 2-hydroxybenzoyl CoA participates in enzymatic reactions that facilitate the breakdown of aromatic rings for energy production and cellular growth (Harwood & Parales, 1996; Gall et al., 2013).
