Abstract excerpt
A mutant of Escherichia coli has been isolated that is unable to grow aerobically on non-fermentable substrates, but able to grow anaerobically on glycerol with alternative electron acceptors such as fumarate. Nitrate as electron acceptor supports anaerobic growth on glycerol, but not on succinat...
