Abstract excerpt
Three Escherichia coli mutants defective in formate-dependent nitrite reduction (Nrf activity) were characterised. Two of the mutants, JCB354 and JCB356, synthesized all five c-type cytochromes previously characterised in anaerobic cultures of E. coli. The third mutant, JCB355, was defective for...
