Outer membrane transport proteins (OMPP1/FadL/TodX)
family includes several proteins that are involved in toluene
catabolism
Catabolism () is the set of metabolic pathways that breaks down molecules into smaller units that are either oxidized to release energy or used in other anabolic reactions. Catabolism breaks down large molecules (such as polysaccharides, lipids, ...
and degradation of aromatic hydrocarbons. This family also includes protein FadL involved in translocation of long-chain
fatty acids across the outer membrane. It is also a receptor for the
bacteriophage
A bacteriophage (), also known informally as a ''phage'' (), is a duplodnaviria virus that infects and replicates within bacteria and archaea. The term was derived from "bacteria" and the Greek φαγεῖν ('), meaning "to devour". Bacteri ...
