Function

CAH_METTT Reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Important for growth on acetate (PubMed:8041719). As a probably extracellular enzyme, it may support a H(+)/CH(3)COO(-) symport mechanism and/or conversion of CO(2) to HCO(3)(-), removing excess CO(2) produced by growth on acetate (Probable).^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
