Abstract excerpt
Geobacter metallireducens is a Fe(III)-respiring deltaproteobacterium and serves as a model organism for aromatic compound-degrading, obligately anaerobic bacteria. In this study, a genetic system was established for G. metallireducens using nitrate as an alternative electron acceptor. Surprisingly, disruption of the benzoate-induced bamY gene, encoding a benzoate coenzyme A (CoA) ligase, reproducibly showed an...
