Enzymes of two clostridial amino-acid fermentation pathways

Two enzymes of the alanine fermentation pathway of Clostridium propionicum were purified and biochemically characterized. The enzyme (R)-lactyl-CoA dehydratase catalyzing the difficult dehydration reaction of (R)-lactyl-CoA to acrylyl-CoA could be partially purified under strict anaerobic conditions...

This PhD dissertation provides original contemporaneous insights --rather than the reinterpretations found in the primary literature-- that led the author (Gloria Herrmann) to conclude that the Etf-Bcd system is capable of flavin-based electron bifurcation (FBEB). Of particular interest are discussions elaborated in pages 37, 38, 46, 47 - 50, 52, 54, 82, & 83.
