Abstract: The gallic acid decarboxylase and microbial production of pyrogallol through decarboxylation of gallic acid was reviewed. Main focuses were enzyme-producing strains and the factors influencing the activities of gallic acid decarboxylase, such as time, concentration of gallic acid, pH value, temperature, metal ions, nitrogen sources and inoculums size. Finally, methods of microbial production of pyrogallol through decarboxylation of gallic acid were introduced briefly. The future study direction was pointed out.

Key words: Gallic acid, Pyrogallol, Gallic acid decarboxylase, Tannase
