Application

It was used in enzymatic assay to measure citrate concentration using microtiter plates.

General description

Citrate lyase is considered as a substrate- induced enzyme which helps in catalyzing reversible aldol cleavage of citrate to oxaloacetate and acetate. The enzyme is adaptive to anaerobic dissimilation of citrate.
