Formylmethanofuran formation in Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum

Abstract

dc:description

The initial step of methanogenesis from CO$\sb2$ is the formation of formyl-methanofuran (formyl-MFR) from methanofuran, CO$\sb2$ and H$\sb2$. This reaction is not measurable in vitro unless activated. The enzymology, and the activation of this reaction were studied.
