Formate increases the F0F1-ATPase activity in Escherichia coli growing on glucose under anaerobic conditions at slightly alkaline pH.

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli growing on glucose under anaerobic conditions at slightly alkaline pH carries out a mixed-acid fermentation resulting in the production of formate among the other products that can be excreted or further oxidized to H(2) and CO(2). H(2) production is largely dependent on formate dehydrogenase H and hydrogenases 3 and 4 constituting two formate hydrogen lyases, and on the F(0)F(1)-ATPase. In this...
