| formate dehydrogenase |
[EC 1.2.1.2] an enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the oxidation of formate to CO2, using NAD+ as an electron acceptor. The reaction occurs in bacteria but not in mammals. The fact that bacteria containing the enzyme (e.g., Escherichia coli ) produce gas in mixed acid fermentations, and those that do not form the enzyme (e.g., Shigella) produce acid but no gas, is the basis for a test for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae.

| formatetetrahydrofolate ligase |
[EC 6.3.4.3] an enzyme activity of the ligase class that catalyzes the ATP-dependent synthesis of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate from formate and tetrahydrofolate, a step in the system of folate-mediated one-carbon transfer reactions. The enzyme activity is part of a trifunctional enzyme that also includes methenyltetrahydrofolate cyclohydrolase (q.v.) and methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (NADP+) activities.
