Abruptly changing from aerobic to anaerobic conditions (sudden anaerobization) induced growth inhibition and a significant increase in intracellular labile ferrous iron in the aerotolerant anaerobe Amphibacillus xylanus. We found that free flavins mediate efficient electron transfer from NADH to ferric iron under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that ...

The History of Desulfovibrio gigas Aldehyde Oxidoreductase—A Personal View
A story going back almost 40 years is presented in this manuscript. This is a different and more challenging way of reporting my research and I hope it will be useful to and target a wide-ranging audience. When preparing the manuscript and collecting references on the subject of this paper—aldehyde oxidoreductase from Desulfovibrio gigas—I felt like I ...

Nicotinoprotein [NAD(P)‐containing] alcohol/aldehyde oxidoreductases [PDF]
Extracts of Gram‐positive bacteria like Rhodococcus rhodochrous, Rhodococcus erythropolis and Amycolatopsis methanolica, but not those of several Gram‐negative ones, showed dehydrogenase activity for ethanol as well as for methanol when 4‐nitroso‐N, N‐dimethylaniline (NDMA) was used as electron acceptor.

Sulfite: Cytochrome \u3cem\u3ec\u3c/em\u3e Oxidoreductase from \u3cem\u3eThiobacillus novellus\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
Direct oxidation of sulfite to sulfate occurs in various photo- and chemotrophic sulfur oxidizing microorganisms as the final step in the oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds and is catalyzed by sulfite:cytochrome c oxidoreductase (EC1.8.2.1).

Engineering the isobutanol biosynthetic pathway in Escherichia coli by comparison of three aldehyde reductase/alcohol dehydrogenase genes [PDF]
Biofuels synthesized from renewable resources are of increasing interest because of global energy and environmental problems. We have previously demonstrated production of higher alcohols from Escherichia coli using a 2-keto acid-based pathway.

Identification of YdhV as the first molybdoenzyme binding a Bis-Mo-MPT cofactor in escherichia coli [PDF]
The oxidoreductase YdhV in Escherichia coli has been predicted to belong to the family of molybdenum/tungsten cofactor (Moco/Wco)-containing enzymes. In this study, we characterized the YdhV protein in detail, which shares amino acid sequence homology ...

Advances in ethanol production [PDF]
Barriers to the commercialization of lignocellulosic ethanol include the development of more robust biocatalysts, reduction of cellulase costs, and high capital cost associated with a complex process.

ABSTRACT Microbial production of 1,3‐butanediol (1,3‐BDO) offers a renewable route to this versatile C4 chemical. However, the low performance of CoA‐acylating butyraldehyde dehydrogenase (Bld), which contains a catalytic cysteine, limits efficient production in recombinant Escherichia coli (E. coli).

A survey of genes encoding H2O2-producing GMC oxidoreductases in 10 Polyporales genomes [PDF]
15 p.-4 fig.-1 tab.The genomes of three representative Polyporales (Bjerkandera adusta, Phlebia brevispora and a member of the Ganoderma lucidum complex) recently were sequenced to expand our knowledge on the diversity and distribution of genes involved ...
