Abstract excerpt
The assembly of anaerobically induced electron transfer chains in Escherichia coli strains defective in periplasmic disulphide bond formation was investigated. Strains deficient in DsbA, DsbB or DipZ (DsbD) were unable to catalyse formate-dependent nitrite reduction (Nrf activity) or synthesize a...
