Ubiquinone biosynthesis over the entire O <sub>2</sub> range: characterization of a conserved, O <sub>2</sub> -independent pathway

2019-03-25

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Most bacteria can generate ATP by respiratory metabolism, in which electrons are shuttled from reduced substrates to terminal electron acceptors, via quinone molecules like ubi quinone. Dioxygen (O 2 ) is the terminal electron acceptor of aerobic respiration and serves as a co-substrate in the biosynthesis of ubi quinone. Here, we characterize a novel, O 2 -independent pathway for the biosynt...
