  • Title: Occurrence of phosphenolpyruvate carboxylase in the extremely thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus.
    Author: Bridger GP, Sundaram TK.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1976 Mar; 125(3):1211-3. PubMed ID: 1254553.
    Abstract:
    In the extreme thermophile Thermus aquaticus, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase catalyzes carbon dioxide fixation on the C3 metabolite phosphoenolpyruvate, producing oxaloacetate. In a moderately thermophilic Bacillus species this function is fulfilled by pyruvate carboyxlase. Like several of its mesophilic counterparts, the Thermus enzyme exhibits a requirement for acetyl coenzyme A.
