This valuable work examines the role of the oxidoreductase MftG in Mycolicibacerium smegmatis alcohol metabolism. A solid set of data is presented to show that, in the context of ethanol metabolism, ...

This study by Graca et al. explores ethanol metabolism pathways in mycobacteria. The enzyme, MftG, a flavoprotein dehydrogenase, is shown to act as an electron shuttle between an uncommon redox ...
