Abstract excerpt
Mutant strain 25-1 of the facultative chemoautotroph Ralstonia eutropha H16 had previously been shown to exhibit an obligately high-CO(2)-requiring (HCR) phenotype. Although the requirement varied with the carbon and energy sources utilized, none of these conditions allowed growth at the air concentration of CO(2). In the present study, a gene designated can and encoding a beta-carbonic anhydrase (CA) was...
