Reversible Hydrogenase Activity Confers Flexibility to Balance Intracellular Redox in Moorella thermoacetica
Hydrogen (H2) converted to reducing equivalents is used by acetogens to fix and metabolize carbon dioxide (CO2) to acetate. The utilization of H2 enables not only autotrophic growth, but also mixotrophic metabolism in acetogens, enhancing carbon utilization. This feature seems useful, especially whe...
