Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli can respire anaerobically by reducing nitrate, trimethylamine-N-oxide, dimethyl sulfoxide, or fumarate. When nitrate is present, expression of the genes for fumarate (frdABCD), trimethylamine-N-oxide, and dimethyl sulfoxide (dmsABC) is repressed while expression of the nitrate reductase (narGHJI) gene is induced. This regulation requires molybdate and is mediated by the narX and narL gene...
