Structural and functional characterisation of the chlorite dismutase from the nitrite-oxidizing bacterium “Candidatus Nitrospira defluvii”: Identification of a catalytically important amino acid residue

Chlorite dismutase (Cld) is a unique heme enzyme which transforms chlorite to chloride and molecular oxygen (reaction: ClO2-→Cl-+O2). Since bacteria with Cld play significant roles in the bioremediation of industrially contaminated sites and also in wastewater treatment, it is of high interest to un...
