Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, PA5385 (cdhB)

Annotation Updates

Date	Description	Acknowledgements
May 15, 2009	New gene name: cdhB . New product name: CdhB, Carnitine dehydrogenase-related gene B. New product name confidence: Class 1. New comment: Transposon insertion into cdhB results in a strain unable to grow using L-carnitine as a sole carbon source. The specific function of CdhB in carnitine catabolism is not known but bioinformatic analysis supports the strong conservation of the cdhCAB genes in all species known to aerobically catabolize L-carnitine.. New function class: Carbon compound catabolism. New evidence reference (PMID): 19406895.	Matthew J. Wargo (University of Vermont College of Medicine) and Deborah A. Hogan (Dartmouth Medical School)
