| Bacillus subtilis YvrK Is an Acid-Induced Oxalate Decarboxylase | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| Bacillus subtilis has been shown to express a cytosolic oxalate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.2). The enzyme was induced in acidic growth media, particularly at pH 5.0, but not by oxalate. The enzyme was purified, and N-terminal sequencing identified the protein to be encoded by yvrK. The role of the first oxalate decarboxylase to be identified in a prokaryote is discussed. | |||||||||||||
