Abstract excerpt
The presence of a glutathione-dependent pathway for formaldehyde oxidation in the facultative phototroph Rhodobacter sphaeroides has allowed the identification of gene products that contribute to formaldehyde metabolism. Mutants lacking the glutathione-dependent formaldehyde dehydrogenase (GSH-FDH) are sensitive to metabolic sources of formaldehyde, like methanol. This growth phenotype is correlated with a defect...
