1.13.11.79 FMNH2 + O2 Sinorhizobium meliloti FMNH2 reacts with oxygen to yield flavin hydroperoxide, which then undergoes a ring expansion with loss of a water molecule to produce intermediate A. This disintegrates further as a result of four hydrolysis reactions in which it is attacked by water molecules. The resulting diaminobenzene product undergoes two oxidation reactions, to form 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole + ?
