This bacterial enzyme, isolated from anoxic, toluene-producing microbial communities, is a glycyl radical enzyme. It needs to be activated by a dedicated activating enzyme (PhdA). The activase catalyses the reductive cleavage of AdoMet, producing a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical that leads to the production of the glycyl radical in PhdB.

phenylacetate carboxy-lyase
This bacterial enzyme, isolated from anoxic, toluene-producing microbial communities, is a glycyl radical enzyme. It needs to be activated by a dedicated activating enzyme (PhdA). The activase catalyses the reductive cleavage of AdoMet, producing a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical that leads to the production of the glycyl radical in PhdB.
mechanism follows attack of the phenylacetate methylene carbon rather than attack of the carboxylate group via a Kolbe-type decarboxylation (single-electron oxidation) or hydrogen-atom abstraction from the protonated carboxyl group
toluene-producing enzyme PhdB is a glycyl radical enzyme of bacterial origin that catalyzes phenylacetate decarboxylation. Its cognate activating enzyme is PhdA, a radical S-adenosylmethionine enzyme, discovered in two distinct anoxic microbial communities that produce toluene
