Formate Is Required for Growth of the Thermophilic Acetogenic Bacterium Thermoanaerobacter kivui Lacking Hydrogen-Dependent Carbon Dioxide Reductase (HDCR)
The hydrogen-dependent carbon dioxide reductase is a soluble enzyme complex that directly utilizes hydrogen (H2) for the reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) to formate in the first step of the acetyl-coenzyme A- or Wood-Ljungdahl pathway (WLP). HDCR consists of 2 catalytic subunits, a hydrogenase and...
