6.2.1.25 | ATP + 2-fluorobenzoate + CoA |
activation of 2-fluorobenzoate by promiscuous AMP-forming benzoate-CoA ligase |
6.2.1.25 | ATP + benzoate + CoA |
- |
6.2.1.25 | ATP + benzoate + CoA |
the enzyme catalyzes the initial step of benzoate metabolism |
6.2.1.25 | ATP + benzoate + CoA |
enzyme is involved in anaerobic degradation of benzoate |
6.2.1.25 | ATP + benzoate + CoA |
activation of benzoate to benzoyl-CoA, a more polar and nondiffusable molecule, decreases the concentration of benzoate in the cell, creating a gradient that favored the uptake of benzoate from the environment |
6.2.1.25 | ATP + benzoate + CoA |
first step of anaerobic benzoate degradation |
6.2.1.25 | more |
benzoate degradation in Azoarcus sp. strain CIB is subject to carbon catabolic repression by some organic acids, indicating the existence of a physiological control that connects the expression of the bzd genes to the metabolic status of the cell |
