The capability to use lactate as a sole source of carbon and energy is one of the key metabolic signatures of Shewanellae, a diverse group of dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria commonly found in aquatic and sedimentary environments. enzymes, which catalyze the oxidation of the respective lactate stereoisomers to pyruvate. Notably, the MR-1 LldEFG enzyme is usually… Continue reading The capability to use lactate as a sole source of carbon
