Several peripheral metabolic pathways can be used by microorganisms to degrade toxic aromatic compounds that are known to pollute the environment. Hydroxyquinol (1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene) is one of the central intermediates in the degradative pathway of a large variety of aromatic compounds. The present review describes the microorganisms involved in the degradative pathway, the key enzymes involved in the formation and splitting of the aromatic ring of (chloro)hydroxyquinol as well as the central intermediates formed. An attempt was also made to provide some estimation for genetic basis of the hydroxyquinol pathway.
