Monohydroxybenzoic acid

Monohydroxybenzoic acid may refer to any of three isomeric phenolic acids:


 * Salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid, o-hydroxybenzoic acid)
 * 3-Hydroxybenzoic acid (m-hydroxybenzoic acid)
 * 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid (p-hydroxybenzoic acid)

Monohydroxybenzoic acids can be degraded by microbes.
