Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on two enzymes, GlgAb and GlgAc, from a bacterial genus that play a crucial role in glycogen synthesis and biofuel production through oleaginous behaviors when carbon and nitrogen ratios are optimized.
- Both enzymes were produced in cells and characterized for their activity, showing that GlgAc is more efficient in using glucose-1P as a substrate compared to GlgAb.
- Interestingly, GlgAb has a unique structure with a super-oligomeric conformation and displays similar efficiencies in synthesizing oligosaccharides, suggesting a complex relationship between enzyme structure and function in polysaccharide biosynthesis.
Nitrosomonas europaea is a chemolithotroph that obtains energy through the oxidation of ammonia to hydroxylamine while assimilates atmospheric CO to cover the cell carbon demands for growth. This microorganism plays a relevant role in the nitrogen biogeochemical cycle on Earth but its carbon metabolism remains poorly characterized. Based on sequence homology, we identified two genes (cbbG and gabD) coding for redox enzymes in N.
