LITERATURE
evolution
a BLAST search using the translated amino acid sequence of STM2358 results in significant higher similarity (37% identity) with sequences of ornithine racemase than with alanine racemase (27% identity), suggesting that it may be an ornithine racemase
metabolism
catalyzes the first step in the ornithine fermentation pathway
