A patchwork pathway of apparently recent origin enables degradation of the synthetic buffer compound TRIS in bacteria
The widely used synthetic chemical 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-propane-1,3-diol (TRIS) was long considered to be biologically inert. Herein, we describe a complete degradation pathway for the catabolism of TRIS in bacteria.bioRxiv
