Abstract: Propionate oxidation in Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum is performed under a thermodynamic limit. The most energetically unfavorable reaction in the propionate oxidation pathway is succinate oxidation. Based on previous genomic and transcriptomic ana-lyses, succinate oxidation in P.… read more here.
