3.11.1.3	3-phosphonopyruvate + H2O	the activity is induced in presence of phosphonoalanine and does not require phosphate starvation for induction	
3.11.1.3	3-phosphonopyruvate + H2O	the enzyme is likely to be of considerable significance in global phosphorous cycling, because phosphonopyruvate is known to be a key intermediate in the formation of all naturally occuring compounds that cotain the carbon-phosphorus bond
