A New Family of Electron-Bifurcating Enzymes Represented by Ferredoxin- and NAD-Dependent Glycerol-3-Phosphate Oxidoreductase

Abstract Glycerol is abundant in natural environments and is utilized by many microbes. In aerobes, it is typically converted, via glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P), to dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) by a quinone-linked dehydrogenase thereby coupling glycolysis and respiration. Under...
