Elucidation of D-amino acid metabolic activity of ornithine decarboxylase from the hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima
{{output}}
The hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima possesses a unique peptidoglycan characterized by the presence of an unusual D-lysine. We have previously identified and characterized a lysine racemase involved in the D-lysine biosynthetic pathway in T. mar... ...
