Abstract excerpt
This study shows that the product of the hoxZ gene of Alcaligenes eutrophus H16 is a b-type cytochrome (cytochrome b(z)), which is essential for anchoring the membrane-bound hydrogenase (MBH) complex to the periplasmic side of the membrane and for H2-coupled respiration. The hoxZ product is not r...
