Reaction: (S)-2-benzoylsuccinyl-CoA + CoA = benzoyl-CoA + succinyl-CoA
Other name(s): bbsAB (gene names)
Systematic name: (S)-2-benzoylsuccinyl-CoA:CoA benzoyltransferase (benzoyl-CoA-forming)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacteria Thauera aromatica and Geobacter metallireducens, participates in an anaerobic toluene degradation pathway.
