DE   glyphosate oxidoreductase.
CA   2 glyphosate + O2 = 2 aminomethylphosphonate + 2 glyoxylate + 2 H(+).
CC   -!- Characterized from the bacterium Ochrobactrum sp. G-1.
CC   -!- The catalytic cycle starts with a reduction of the FAD cofactor by
CC       one molecule of glyphosate, yielding reduced FAD and a Schiff base of
CC       aminomethylphosphonate with glyoxylate that is hydrolyzed to the
CC       single components.
CC   -!- The reduced FAD is reoxidized by oxygen, generating water and an
CC       oxygenated flavin intermediate, which catalyzes the oxygenation of a
CC       second molecule of glyphosate, forming the second pair of
CC       aminomethylphosphonate and glyoxylate.
