Electron transport phosphorylation in rumen butyrivibrios: unprecedented ATP yield for glucose fermentation to butyrate
From a genomic analysis of rumen butyrivibrios (Butyrivibrio and Pseudobutyrivibrio spp.), we have re-evaluated the contribution of electron transport phosphorylation to ATP formation in this group. This group is unique in that most (76%) genomes were predicted to possess genes for both Ech and Rnf...
