General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function Desulfurella acetivorans is capable of both acetate oxidation and autotrophic carbon fixation, with the tricarboxylic acid cycle operating either in the oxidative or reductive direction, respectively. Under autotrophic conditions, the enzyme citrate synthase cleaves citrate adenosine triphosphate-independently into acetyl-coenzyme A and oxaloacetate Desulfurella acetivorans
