The active species of "CO2" formed by carbon monoxide dehydrogenase from Peptostreptococcus productus
1Laboratorium für Mikrobiologie, Fachbereich Biologie, Philipps-Universität Marburg, Bundesrepublik Deutschland.
Abstract:
Carbon monoxide dehydrogenase of anaerobic bacteria catalyzes the reversible conversion of CO to "CO2". With the enzyme from Peptostreptococcus productus it is shown that CO2 rather than HCO3- (H2CO3) is the active species of "CO2" formed by this dehydrogenase.
