Catabolism of the amino acid L-proline in most Gram-positive bacteria occurs through through a common pathway that involves the FAD-dependent activity L-proline dehydrogenase (PRODH) and the NAD+-dependent activity L-Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (P5CDH). The two activ...

The amino acid L-proline can be degraded to L-glutamate by many Gram-positive bacteria through a common pathway that uses the FAD-dependent activity L-proline dehydrogenase (PRODH) and the NAD+-dependent activity L-Δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase (P5CDH), also called L-g...
