This valuable work examines the role of the oxidoreductase MftG in Mycolicibacerium smegmatis alcohol metabolism. A solid set of data is presented to show that, in the context of ethanol metabolism, ...

This study by Graca et al. explores ethanol metabolism pathways in mycobacteria. The enzyme, MftG, a flavoprotein dehydrogenase, is shown to act as an electron shuttle between an uncommon redox ...

Anaerobic respiration in yeast and other microbes is a metabolic process that occurs in the absence of oxygen, allowing yeast cells to generate energy. This is also known as alcoholic fermentation.

ATP is the source of chemical energy that is essential for survival, growth, reproduction and function of cells. There are two forms of cellular respiration: Aerobic, which requires oxygen to function ...
