The Disruption of a Gene Encoding a Putative Arylesterase Impairs Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Activity and Nitrogen Fixation in Sinorhizobium meliloti
Nitrogen-fixing Sinorhizobium meliloti cells depend upon dicarboxylic acids as carbon and energy sources. The metabolism of these intermediate compounds of the tri-chloroacetic acid cycle is dependent upon the availability of acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA). In bacteroids, the combined activities of malic e...
