Abstract
The Shikimic acid pathway is responsible for the biosynthesis of many aromatic compounds by a broad range of organisms, including bacteria, fungi, algae, plants, and some protozoans. Animals are considered to lack this pathway; this pathway is essentially used to synthesize basic amino acids by plant and lower organisms. Shikimic acid is the starting point in the biosynthesis of many phenolic compounds. Through which phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan are obtained which act as a precursor for the biosynthesis of phenylpropanoids. Therefore these reviews focus mainly on the metabolic pathway of the Shikimic acid.
