H<sub>2</sub>-Independent Growth of the Hydrogenotrophic Methanogen <named-content content-type="genus-species">Methanococcus maripaludis</named-content>
ABSTRACT Hydrogenotrophic methanogenic Archaea require reduced ferredoxin as an anaplerotic source of electrons for methanogenesis. H2 oxidation by the hydrogenase Eha provides these electrons, consistent with an H2 requirement for growth. Here we report the identification of alternative pathways of...
