Carboxylic acid reductase, Clostridium

White H, R Feicht, C Huber, F Lottspeich, H Simon (1991) Purification and some properties of the tungsten-containing carboxylic acid reductase from Clostridium formicoaceticum. Biol Chem Hoppe-Seyler 372 999-1005. 

The carboxylic acid reductase in acetogenic Clostridia such as Clostridium thermoaceti-cum (White et al. 1989 Strobl et al. 1992). 

Clostridium peifringens ferredoxin, 38 261 Clostridium thermoaceticum, 32 326 carboxylic acid reductase, 40 73 CO dehydrogenase, 38 362 formate dehydrogenase, 40 71-72 CISCN, 33 81... 

A surprisingly broad substrate specificity has been found for the enoate reductases from Clostridium tyrohutyritMm and Clostridium kluyveri [126], however, up to now, no preparative-scale bioreduction of a,p-unsaturated carboxylic acids using these enzymes in their purified form has been reported, most likely due to the technical difficulties in handling these sensitive biocatalysts.
