Abstract excerpt
Enterobacteria synthesize two formate dehydrogenases, formate dehydrogenase-N (encoded by fdnGHI) and formate dehydrogenase H (encoded by fdhF). Previous work has identified two rha-linked Salmonella typhimurium genes, fdnB and fdnC, which are required primarily for formate dehydrogenase-N activity. Analogous mutants, termed fdhD and fdhE, have been isolated in Escherichia coli. We used gene fusions between fdnG,...
