| Type: | Domain | Name: | Acetoacetate decarboxylase beta barrel domain |
| Description: | Acetoacetate decarboxylase (ADC) is involved in solventogenesis in certain bacteria, which occurs at the end of the exponential growth phase when there is a metabolic switch from classical sugar fermentation with the production of acetate and butyrate to the re-internalisation and oxidation of these acids to acetate and butanol []. In Clostridium, SpoOA controls the switch from acid to solvent production. A SpoAO-binding motif occurs in the gene encoding ADC [].This entry represents the beta barrel structural domain found in acetoacetate decarboxylases. | Short Name: | Acetoacetate_decarboxylase_dom |
