Functional Redundancy in Perchlorate and Nitrate Electron Transport Chains and Rewiring Respiratory Pathways to Alter Terminal Electron Acceptor Preference

Functional Redundancy in Perchlorate and Nitrate Electron Transport Chains and Rewiring Respiratory Pathways to Alter Terminal Electron Acceptor Preference

Most dissimilatory perchlorate reducing bacteria (DPRB) are also capable of respiratory nitrate reduction, and preferentially utilize nitrate over perchlorate as a terminal electron acceptor. The similar domain architectures and phylogenetic relatedness of the nitrate and perchlorate respiratory com...
