PioABC-Dependent Fe(II) Oxidation during Photoheterotrophic Growth on an Oxidized Carbon Substrate Increases Growth Yield
Abstract
The simultaneous use of carbon and reduced metals such as Fe(II) by bacteria is thought to be widespread in aquatic environments, and a mechanistic description of this process could improve our understanding of biogeochemical cycles. Anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria like Rhodopseudomonas palustris typically use light for energy and organic compounds as both a carbon and an electron source.
