Chemistry and biochemistry of B12

Ruma Banerjee
TLDR
This work has shown that Cobalamin Transport in Bacteria and Regulation of Adenosylcobalamin Biosynthesis in Salmonella typhimurium, and the Role of Corrinoids in Methanogenesis, are regulated by different mechanisms and require different approaches to be understood.
