Abstract: Purpose. Membrane fluidity to a large extent is governed by the presence of branched‐chain fatty acids (BCFAs). Branched‐chain &agr;‐keto acid dehydrogenase (BKD) is the key enzyme in BCFA synthesis. A Staphylococcus aureus BKD‐deficient strain still… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aem.00049-18
Abstract: ABSTRACT Branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) degradation is a major source of propionyl coenzyme A (propionyl-CoA), a key precursor of erythromycin biosynthesis in Saccharopolyspora erythraea. In this study, we found that the bkd operon, responsible for… read more here.
