Metabolic engineering of cofactor F420 production in Mycobacterium smegmatis.

Cofactor F(420) is a unique electron carrier in a number of microorganisms including Archaea and Mycobacteria. It has been shown that F(420) has a direct and important role in archaeal energy metabolism whereas the role of F(420) in mycobacterial metabolism has only begun to be uncovered in the last...
