Summary
FumB is required for anaerobic D-tartrate utilization and fumB mutants have reduced D-tartrate dehydratase activity (Kim, 2007). [More information is available at EcoGene: EG10357]. One of three isozymes in Escherichia coli, fumarase B is a Class I fumarase. [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG10357].
