Stereochemistry reveals the mechanism of bacterial alkane activation without oxygen
The denitrifying bacterium strain HxN1 converts hexane and fumarate to 4- methyloctanyl-CoA. It was proposed that an initial adduct derived from fumarate and the hex-2-yl radical is converted to a CoA-thioester, (1'-methylpentyl)- succinyl-CoA 1, which rearranges to (2-methylhexyl)malonyl-CoA 2...
