This study was conducted in order to explore proteins involved in 1,2-propanediol utilization and microcompartments formation of E. maltosivorans. We also identified the maltose specific ABC transporter in E. maltosivorans when it was grown with this substrate.
This study was conducted to investigate whether 1,2-propanediol could be metabolized by Propionibacterium freudenreichii DSM 20271 through bacterial microcompartment mediated metabolism.
