Glycine cleavage powers photoheterotrophic growth of Chloroflexus aurantiacus in the absence of H2

Chloroflexus aurantiacus is an anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium. Its unique CO2 fixation pathway and primitive light-harvesting antenna complexes have attracted extensive research attentions. In this work, we investigated the photoheterotrophic growth of C. aurantiacus J-10-fl using acetate (at 55...
