Evidence for horizontal gene transfer of anaerobic carbon monoxide dehydrogenases

Evidence for horizontal gene transfer of anaerobic carbon monoxide dehydrogenases

Carbon monoxide (CO) is commonly known as a toxic gas, yet it is used by both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and many archaea. In this study, we determined the prevalence of anaerobic carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (anaerobic CODHs, or [Ni,Fe]-CODHs) in currently available genomic sequence databases...
