| Comments |
The E.coli ykgEFG operon is a clear homolog of the B.subtilis lutABC operon, however it is not able of restoring L-lactate utilization to the B.subtilis mutant for lutABC operon (PubMed=19201793). Thus, ykgEFG operon may contribute to lactate catabolism in E.coli, but under conditions other than those tested, or alternatively, the ykgEFG operon may be responsible for the catabolism of a metabolite other than (but perhaps related to) lactate in E.coli. That's why the profile was not extended to Pseudomonadota and this family rule is currently restricted to Bacillota (in fact seed alignment only contains Bacillales), waiting for characterization in E.coli. |
