The Citric Acid Cycle of Thiomicrospira crunogena: An Oddity Amongst the Proteobacteria
Thiomicrospira crunogena, a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chemolithoautotroph, uses the Calvin-Bensen-Bassham cycle to fix carbon. To meet its biosynthetic needs for oxaloacetate, oxoglutarate, and succinyl-coA, one would expect that this obligately autotrophic Gammaproteobacterium would use a ‘wishb...
