Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 has two possible catabolic pathways of spermidine and spermine; one includes the spuA and spuB products with unknown functions and the other involves spermidine dehydrogenase (SpdH; EC 1.5.99.6) encoded by an unknown gene. The properties of SpdH in P. aeruginosa PAO1 were characterized and the corresponding spdH gene in this strain identified. The deduced SpdH (620 residues, calculated...
