Abstract excerpt
A genetic approach was used to study (dissimilatory) ferric iron (Fe3+) reduction in Shewanella putrefaciens 200. Chemical mutagenesis procedures and two rapid plate assays were developed to facilitate the screening of Fe3+ reduction-deficient mutants. Sixty-two putative Fe3+ reduction-deficient mutants were identified, and each was subsequently tested for its ability to grow anaerobically on various compounds as...
