Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Biosynthesis of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in Chloroflexus aurantiacus, a thermophilic bacterium forming bacteriochlorophyll c, is shown to proceed via the C5 pathway by demonstrating (1) the specific labeling of its chlorin ring with [1 - 13C]glutamate and (2) the enzyme activity to produce ALA from glutamate in a cell-free extract. From the phylogenetic distribution it is suggested that ALA synthetase distributed in some aerobic eubacteria could be monophyletic in origin. |
