| Accepted name: |
chlorite O2-lyase |
| Reaction: |
chloride + O2 = chlorite |
| Systematic name: |
chloride:oxygen oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
Reaction occurs in the reverse direction in chlorate- and perchlorate-reducing bacteria. There is no activity when chlorite is replaced by hydrogen peroxide, perchlorate, chlorate or nitrite. The term 'chlorite dismutase' is misleading as the reaction does not involve dismutation/disproportionation. Contains iron and protoheme IX. |
