General Information	Comment	Organism
physiological function	mutants lacking fixA and fixB proteins are unable to use carnitine anaerobically as the sole terminal electron acceptor and that these mutants are unable to metabolize carnitine to gamma-butyrobetaine. FixA and FixB proteins may be involved in bringing reductant to crotonobetainyl-CoA reductase CaiA	Escherichia coli
