Abstract excerpt
The genome of the gram-positive bacterium Enterococcus faecalis contains the genes that encode the citrate lyase complex. This complex splits citrate into oxaloacetate and acetate and is involved in all the known anaerobic bacterial citrate fermentation pathways. Although citrate fermentation in E. faecalis has been investigated before, the regulation and transcriptional pattern of the cit locus has still not...
