alkT encodes the 3rd component of the alkane hydroxylase complex, the rubredoxin reductase. Transfers electrons from NADH to rubredoxin.

Figure 7 shows the highest specific activity for alkT in P.oleovorans, lower in E.coli HB101 and lowest in E.coli W3110. This concluded that the rubredoxin reductase is present

in excess in the E. coli alk+ recombinants

OxdA encodes for aldoxime dehydratase activity.

Figure 3As shows the activity between the purified enzyme, the enzyme with Na2S2O4-reduced, and the enzyme with Na2S2O4-reduced plus CO. As a result, oxdA was shown to have much higher activity in the presence of Na2S2O4. This shows the Na2S2O4 reagent assists in the already present reducing activity.

ClrA is one of three subunits which contribute to the chlorate reductase activity.

Figure 1 uses SDS-PAGE to purify the chlorate reductase. The results were 3 major bands which shows it is a complex of 3 different subunits in a 1:1:1 ratio.

Aldehyde decarbonylase, purified from Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 was able to decarbonylate fatty aldehydes when expressed in E.coli. According to Fig. 1, when introduced along with acyl-[acp] reductase, the host organism was conferred the ability to produce alkane.

CesA8 mutants have a reduced cellulose content and resulting irregular xylem shape. This suggests that this cellulose synthase isoform is involved in secondary wall synthesis of Arabidopsis thaliana.Fig. 6 demonstrates the results through electron microscopy of thinned cellular walls in mutants.Fig. 7 also illustrates how mutants (irx is synonym for CesA8) are weaker/more susceptible to bending.

Responsible for isopenicillin-N amidohydrolase, 6-aminopenicillanic acid acyltransferase and penicillin amidase activities in P. chrysogenum.

Mutants npe6, npe8 and npe10 with no acyltransferase activity were transformed with a plamsid, pULB101, containing penDE gene. Mutants were then prepared and assayed. Npe6, npe8 and npe10 showed AAT, IAT, IPN amidohydrolase, penicillin transacylase and penicllin amidase activities. This indicated the penDE gene recovered all acyltransferase activity. Table 6 shows the results of an assay for the comparison between P. chrysogenum and C. acremonium. C. acremonium does not contain the penDE gene and recorded zero activity for Acyl-CoA:CAPA acyltransferase activity, extracellular accumulation of 6-APA, and production of penicillin. Whereas, P. chrysogenum does contain the penDE gene and showed positive results for these activities.

Release of unsaturated glucuronic acids from oligosaccharides produced from polysaccharide lyase reactions.

Fig. 2 shows the transformation from a tetrasaccharide to a trisaccharide without unsaturated glucuronic acid using enzyme fraction. This shows an enzyme, unsaturated

glucuronyl hydrolase, is present in Bacillus sp. GL1. Also, the absorbance level at 235nm was shown to decrease due to the double bond diminishing over a 15min period.

Codes for a subunit(dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase)that dimerizes to become the E3 subunit dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (DHLDH) in the acetoin dehydrogenase complex that catalyzes the conversion of acetoin to acetyl-CoA and acetaldehyde. Table 6 indicates DHLDH is only present in high activity in acetoin utilizing cultures.
