Nameglycerol fermentation to 1,3-propanediol, using glycerol dehydratase
TypePATHWAY
DescriptionGlycerol can be converted anaerobically to 1,3-propanediol in two steps. Glycerol dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.30), which needs B12, removes a water and gives 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde. 1,3-propanediol dehydrogenase then converts 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde and NADH 1,3-propanediol and NAD+. Model species for this pathway include Citrobacter freundii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Clostridium pasteurianum.
