Abstract excerpt
The archaeon Haloferax volcanii was previously shown to contain and transcribe the genes for a 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase (OADH) complex, but their presence remained a mystery because no enzymatic activity with any of the known OADH substrates could be found, and an inactivation of one of the genes did not lead to any phenotype. Here we report the identification of an additional oadh gene cluster in the genome of...
