Abstract excerpt
The genetic context in bacterial genomes and screening for potential substrates can help identify the biochemical functions of bacterial enzymes. The Gram-negative, strictly anaerobic bacterium Veillonella ratti possesses a gene cluster that appears to be related to l-fucose metabolism and contains a putative dihydrodipicolinate synthase/N-acetylneuraminate lyase protein (FucH). Here, screening of a library of...
