abstract：:Strains derived from HfrH carrying the arcA2 null mutation exhibit a higher respiratory rate, enhanced glucose consumption, and a more-reduced intracellular redox state than arcA deletion mutants of a different lineage. The phenotype of the arcA2 mutants was due to the presence of a creC constitutive mutation introduc...

abstract：:The molecular basis of the ability of bacteria to live on caffeine via the C-8 oxidation pathway is unknown. The first step of this pathway, caffeine to trimethyluric acid (TMU), has been attributed to poorly characterized caffeine oxidases and a novel quinone-dependent caffeine dehydrogenase. Here, we report the deta...
