Regulation of carbon dioxide fixation in the chemoautotroph Xanthobacter flavus

摘要

Autotrophic bacteria and plants are able to convert the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, CO2, into cell material. Although there are a number of metabolic pathways supporting autotrophic growth, the Calvin cycle is the most widely distributed of these. CO2 fixation requires a large amount of energy which originates from light or chemical oxidation, supporting respectively photoautotrophic or chemoautotrophic growth.... Zie: Chapter 7
