- PhysiologyThe Auxiliary NADH Dehydrogenase Plays a Crucial Role in Redox Homeostasis of Nicotinamide Cofactors in the Absence of the Periplasmic Oxidation System in Gluconobacter oxydans NBRC3293
Nicotinamide cofactors NAD+ and NADP+ mediate redox reactions in metabolism. Gluconobacter oxydans, a member of the acetic acid bacteria, oxidizes glucose incompletely in the periplasmic space—outside the cell. This incomplete oxidation of glucose is independent of nicotinamide cofactors. However, if the periplasmic oxidation of glucose is...
