MftG is crucial for ethanol metabolism of mycobacteria by linking mycofactocin oxidation to respiration by Ana Patrícia Graça, Vadim Nikitushkin, Mark Ellerhorst, Cláudia Vilhena, Tilman E Klassert, Andreas Starick, Malte Siemers, Walid K Al-Jammal, Ivan Vilotijevic, Hortense Slevogt, Kai Papenfort, Gerald Lackner

“…While the biosynthesis of mycofactocin is well established, the gene mftG, which encodes an oxidoreductase of the glucose-methanol-choline superfamily, remained functionally uncharacterized. Here, we show that MftG enzymes are almost exclusively found in genomes containing mycofactocin biosynthetic genes and are present in 75% of organisms harboring these genes. …”
