This study identifies the keto form of oxaloacetate as the substrate for Vibrio cholerae decarboxylase and elucidates the proton transport mechanism during catalysis.

This study identifies two trimethylammonia-lyases in Shewanella oneidensis that produce terminal electron acceptors for anaerobic respiration.

This study identifies a novel enzyme, histidine betaine trimethylammonia-lyase, involved in anaerobic respiration in Shewanella woodyi, which converts histidine betaine into urocanate and trimethylamine.

The paper measures H+ transport kinetics in mPPase using a stopped-flow assay and finds that hydrolysis, not pyrophosphate binding, directly couples to H+ transport.

This study identifies ArdAB as the acrylate reductase in Shewanella woodyi, responsible for anaerobic respiration using acrylate as a terminal electron acceptor.
