Abstract excerpt
Protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO; EC 1.3.3.4) is the enzyme that catalyzes in the penultimate step in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Hemes are essential components of redox enzymes, such as cytochromes. Thus, a hemG mutant strain of Escherichia coli deficient in PPO is defective in aerobic respira...
