Discovery of a Ferredoxin:NAD~+-Oxidoreductase (Rnf) in Acetobacterium woodii: A Novel Potential Coupling Site in Acetogens

摘要

Acetogens use the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway for reduction of carbon dioxide to acetate. This pathway not only allows reoxidation of reducing equivalents during heterotrophic growth but also supports chemolithoautotrophic growth on H_2 + CO_2. The latter argu
