Abstract
The anaerobic formation by a Pseudomonas preparation requires the transformation of 2 propionic acid side chains of positions 2 and 4 of the rings into vinyl groups, a process involving both decarboxylation and oxidation. The enzyme coproporphyrinogen oxidative decarboxylase is responsible for the conversion.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
