Background Geobacter lovleyi is a unique member of the Geobacteraceae because strains of this species share the ability to couple tetrachloroethene (PCE) reductive dechlorination to cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-DCE) with energy conservation and growth (i ...

Cobalamin production by Lactobacillus coryniformis: Biochemical identification of the synthetized corrinoid and genomic analysis of the biosynthetic cluster [PDF]
Background: Despite the fact that most vitamins are present in a variety of foods, malnutrition, unbalanced diets or insufficient intake of foods are still the cause of vitamin deficiencies in humans in some countries.

Pseudovitamin B(12) is the corrinoid produced by Lactobacillus reuteri CRL 1098 under anaerobic conditions [PDF]
We have reported previously on the ability of Lactobacillus reuteri to produce a compound with vitamin B-12 activity. Here we report on the chemical characterisation of this corrinoid-like molecule.

Ecology of Organohalide-Respiring \u3ci\u3eDehalococcoides mccartyi\u3c/i\u3e: Corrinoid Cofactor-Related Community Interactions and Controls over Strain Selection [PDF]
Organohalides such as tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) are among the most prevalent toxic groundwater contaminants. Remediation of organohalide-contaminated sites has high priority, and efficient and cost-effective remedies are needed to

Control of Metal-Catalyzed Reactions by Organic Ligands: From Corrinoid and Porphinoid Metal Complexes to Tailor-Made Catalysts for Asymmetric Synthesis [PDF]
Corrinoid and porphinoid metal complexes playa fundamental role in nature as catalysts for a variety of biochemical transformations. The properties of the metal ion in these complexes are strongly influenced by the macrocyclic ligand.

Identification of purinyl-cobamide as a novel corrinoid cofactor of tetrachloroethene reductive dehalogenases in \u3ci\u3eDesulfitobacterium\u3c/i\u3e spp. [PDF]
Corrinoids (e.g. vitamin B12) [cyanocobalamin] are a group of structurally similar, cobaltcontaining tetrapyrrole compounds involved in a number of important biochemical reactions.
