oxidative cleavage of the C-P bond of its substrate, yielding glycine betaine and phosphate. The high specificities of TmpA and TmpB for their N-trimethylated substrates suggest that they have evolved specifically to degrade TMAEP, which was not previously known to be subject to microbial catabolism. This study thus adds to the growing list of known pathways through which microbes break down organophosphonates
