The genome sequence of Geobacter metallireducens: features of metabolism physiology and regulation common and dissimilar to Geobacter sulfurreducens

摘要

BackgroundThe genome sequence of Geobacter metallireducens is the second to be completed from the metal-respiring genus Geobacter, and is compared in this report to that of Geobacter sulfurreducens in order to understand their metabolic, physiological and regulatory similarities and differences.
