Abstract: Fumarate, an electron acceptor in anaerobic respiration of Escherichia coli, has an additional function of assisting the flagellar motor to shift from counterclockwise to clockwise rotation, with a consequent modulation of the bacterial swimming behavior.… read more here.

Abstract: In the present study, we examined the ability of Enterobacter cloacae Z0206 to reduce toxic sodium selenite and mechanism of this process. E. cloacae Z0206 was found to completely reduce up to 10 mM selenite to… read more here.
