Abstract excerpt
Bacterial nap gene clusters, encoding periplasmic nitrate reductase (NapA), are complex and diverse, and the composition of the electron transport chain donating electrons to NapA is poorly characterized in most organisms. Exceptionally, Wolinella succinogenes transfers electrons from formate via the menaquinone pool to NapA independently of a membrane-bound c-type cytochrome of the NapC family. The role of...
