Apart from oxygenic photosynthesis, the extent of manganese utilization in bacteria varies
from species to species and also appears to depend on external conditions. This …

Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC encoded by pdc) is a thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)-
containing enzyme responsible for the conversion of pyruvate to acetaldehyde in many …

The short‐and medium‐chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamilies are responsible for
most chiral alcohol production in laboratories and industries. In nature, they participate in …

Routes for cysteine biosynthesis are still unknown in many archaea. Here we find that the
hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis generates cysteine from serine …

An alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) from hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus
guaymasensis was purified to homogeneity and was found to be a homotetramer with a …

Acetoin reductase is an important enzyme for the fermentative production of 2, 3-butanediol,
a chemical compound with a very broad industrial use. Here, we report on the discovery and …

2, 5-Dimethylpyrazine (2, 5-DMP) is an important pharmaceutical intermediate and an
important essence. Conventional chemical synthesis methods are often accompanied by …

2, 5-Dimethylpyrazine (2, 5-DMP) is an indispensable additive for flavoring in the food
industry and an important substrate for producing hypoglycemic and antilipolytic drugs …

Amino acid catabolism in Thermococcales is presumed to proceed via three steps: oxidative
deamination of amino acids by glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) or aminotransferases …

The X-ray structure of the holo-form of l-threonine dehydrogenase (TDH) from
Thermococcus kodakaraensis (TkTDH) has been determined at 2.4 Å resolution. TDH …
