Besides the down-regulated genes, a higher expression was recorded for the number of gene including hydrogenase and formate dehydrogenases and in genes involved in energy production and conservation, ...

This study by Graca et al. explores ethanol metabolism pathways in mycobacteria. The enzyme, MftG, a flavoprotein dehydrogenase, is shown to act as an electron shuttle between an uncommon redox ...

Graca et al. reports a fundamental missing link in the ethanol metabolism of mycobacteria and illuminates the role of a flavoprotein dehydrogenase that acts as an electron shuttle between an uncommon ...
