Nickel requirement of Acetobacterium woodii.

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Growth of Acetobacterium woodii on H2 and CO2 rather than on fructose was dependent on nickel. Nickel-deprived cultures growing on fructose did not synthesize acetate from CO2; under these conditions hydrogen formation was used as the electron sink. The data indicate that nickel is involved in CO2 reduction to acetate in A. woodii.
