Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli strains that lacked the d-type cytochrome oxidase, the terminal oxidase with a high affinity for O2, grew anaerobically as well as the wild type did and were not impaired in the ability to evolve H2 from either glucose or formate. The anaerobic synthesis and activity of nitrogena...
