Abstract excerpt
Anaerobic, acetogenic bacteria are well known for their ability to convert various one-carbon compounds, promising feedstocks for a future, sustainable biotechnology, to products such as acetate and biofuels. The model acetogen Acetobacterium woodii can grow on CO2, formate or methanol, but not on carbon monoxide, an important industrial waste product. Since hydrogenases are targets of CO inhibition, here, we...
