BCD 2: (Butyryl- CoA Dehydrogenase)

Butyryl- CoA dehydrogenase catalyzes the rate-limiting step (Crotonyl-CoA to butyryl-CoA) of the acetyl-CoA butyrate synthesis pathway, further increasing the efficiency of bacteria’s butyrate production. We obtained the DNA sequence (BCD) encoded for butyryl- CoA dehydrogenase from the genome of Clostridium acetobutylicum.
