Biosynthesis of Tetrapyrrole Cofactors by Bacterial Community Inhabiting Porphyrine-Containing Shale Rock (Fore-Sudetic Monocline)
This study describes for the first time the comprehensive characterization of tetrapyrrole cofactor biosynthetic pathways developed for bacterial community (BC) inhabiting shale rock. Based on the genomic and proteomic metadata, we have detailed the biosynthesis of siroheme, heme, cobalamin, and the...
