1,2-propanediol
Research ArticleGenetic Characterization of a Glycyl Radical Microcompartment Used for 1,2-Propanediol Fermentation by Uropathogenic Escherichia coli CFT073Bacterial MCPs have a number of potential biotechnology applications and have been linked to bacterial pathogenesis, cancer, and heart disease. Glycyl radical MCPs are a large but understudied class of bacterial MCPs. Here, we show that uropathogenic E. coli CFT073 uses a glycyl radical MCP for 1,2-PD fermentation, and we conduct a comprehensive genetic analysis of...
