The oxidoreductase activity of Rnf balances redox cofactors during fermentation of glucose to propionate in Prevotella
Abstract Propionate is a microbial metabolite formed in the gastrointestinal tract, and it affects host physiology as a source of energy and signaling molecule. Despite the importance of propionate, the biochemical pathways responsible for its formation are not clear in all microbes. For the succina...
