Bacillus subtilis has been shown to express a cytosolic
oxalate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.2). The enzyme was induced in acidic growth media, particularly at pH 5.0, but not by oxalate. The enzyme
was purified, and N-terminal sequencing identified the protein to be
encoded by yvrK. The role of the first oxalate
decarboxylase to be identified in a prokaryote is discussed.
