LITERATURE
analysis
biochemical assay for activity, low-potential electrons are introduced by photochemical reduction of EDTA/deazaflavin and the generated pyruvate is trapped by chemical derivatization with semicarbazide. The product of CO2 fixation can be detected as pyruvate semicarbazone by HPLC-MS
biofuel production
-
proteome analysis as well as enzyme assays performed in cell-free extracts demonstrates that glycerol is degraded via glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, which is further metabolized through the lower part of glycolysis leading to formation of mainly ethanol and hydrogen. Fermentation of glycerol to ethanol and hydrogen by this bacterium represents a remarkable option to add value to the biodiesel industries by utilization of surplus glycerol
