Glossary: pyocyanin = 6-methylphenazin-6-ium-1-olate

Other name(s): phzS (gene name)

Systematic name: 5-methylphenazine-1-carboxylate,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (1-hydroxylating, decarboxylating)

Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is involved in the biosynthesis of pyocyanin, a toxin produced and secreted by the organism. It can also act on phenazine-1-carboxylate, converting it into 1-hydroxyphenazine.
