Molybdate Reduction to Molybdenum Blue in Serratia sp Strain DRY5 Is Catalyzed by a Novel Molybdenum-Reducing Enzyme

The first purification of the Mo-reducing enzyme from Serratia sp. strain DRY5 that is responsible for molybdenum reduction to molybdenum blue in the bacterium is reported. The monomeric enzyme has an apparent molecular weight of 105 kDalton. The isoelectric point of this enzyme was 7.55. The enzyme...
