The genetic basis of energy conservation in the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio alaskensis G20

The genetic basis of energy conservation in the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio alaskensis G20

Sulfate-reducing bacteria play major roles in the global carbon and sulfur cycles, but it remains unclear how reducing sulfate yields energy. To determine the genetic basis of energy conservation, we measured the fitness of thousands of pooled mutants of Desulfovibrio alaskensis G20 during growth in...
