Abstract excerpt
The serine cycle methylotroph Methylobacterium extorquens AM1 contains two pterin-dependent pathways for C(1) transfers, the tetrahydrofolate (H(4)F) pathway and the tetrahydromethanopterin (H(4)MPT) pathway, and both are required for growth on C(1) compounds. With the exception of formate-tetrahydrofolate ligase (FtfL, alternatively termed formyl-H(4)F synthetase), all of the genes encoding the enzymes...
