High impact information on RPB_0660

2-Hydroxychc-CoA dehydrogenase does not participate in anaerobic benzoate degradation by T. aromatica and thus may serve as a useful indicator of an R. palustris-type benzoate degradation pathway [1].
Crude extracts of R. palustris cells grown with a range of aromatic or alicyclic acids contained a dehydrogenase that reacted with cyclohexane carboxyl-CoA or cyclohex-1-ene carboxyl-CoA, using 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol or ferricenium ion as electron carrier [2].
Mutant cells in which a kanamycin cassette was inserted into the dihydroxy-dihydro dehydrogenase gene could not grow aerobically on p-cumate [3].
