文摘
- •
In Synechocystis PCC6803 BMAA metabolism involves transamination reactions with the primary amino group.
- •
In cyanobacteria, β-N-methylamino-L-alanine metabolism does not involve deamination of primary amino group.
- •
Transamination of BMAA in Synechocystis PCC6803 appears to be catalysed by glutamine oxoglutarate aminotransferase.
