Cobalt-precorrin 5A hydrolase (EC 3.7.1.12), CbiG (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name cobalt-precorrin 5A acylhydrolase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

cobalt-precorrin-5A + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] cobalt-precorrin-5B + acetaldehyde + 2 H+

This enzyme hydrolyses the ring A acetate delta-lactone of cobalt-precorrin-5A and releases a two-carbon fragment from the macrocyclic corrin ring as acetaldehyde. This is part of the biosynthetic pathway to cobalamin (vitamin B12) in anaerobic bacteria such as Salmonella typhimurium and Bacillus megaterium.
