Formate is the signature compound in the anaerobic metabolism of Escherichia coli and
other enterobacteria. Its synthesis and degradation is integrated in a net-work of metabolic …

The products of a minimum of 15 genes are required for the synthesis of an active formate‐
hydrogenlyase (FHL) system in Escherichia coli. All are co‐ordinately regulated in response …

The production of dihydrogen by Escherichia coli and other members of the
Enterobacteriaceae is one of the classic features of mixed-acid fermentation. Synthesis of …

Enterobacteria such as Escherichia coli generate formate, lactate, acetate, and succinate as
major acidic fermentation products. Accumulation of these products in the cytoplasm would …

Formate is a substrate, or product, of diverse reactions catalyzed by eukaryotic organisms,
eubacteria, and archaebacteria. A survey of metabolic groups reveals that formate is a …

Formate can be efficiently produced via electrochemical or photochemical catalytic
conversion of CO 2, and it can be directly used as an organic carbon source by …

Through complementation of a trans‐acting regulatory mutation a gene has been cloned
whose product is required for the formate induction of the anaerobic expression of the …

A new gene whose product is required for the production of formate hydrogenlyase (FHL)
has been identified in Escherichia coli. This gene, termed fhlB, maps between the frdA (94.4 …

The regulatory elements involved in expression of the gene (fdhF) for the selenopolypeptide
of formate dehydrogenase and of a gene (or transcriptional unit)(hyd) specifically …

Under appropriate growth conditions Escherichia coli synthesizes a membrane-bound
formate dehydrogenase activity (EC 1.2.--) that donates reducing equivalents either via a …
