Abstract excerpt
The sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough possesses a large number of porphyrin-containing proteins whose biosynthesis is poorly characterized. In this work, we have studied two putative CbiK cobaltochelatases present in the genome of D. vulgaris. The assays revealed that both enzymes insert cobalt and iron into sirohydrochlorin, with specific activities with iron lower than that...
