Project description:The metabolic versatile hyperthermophilic dissimilatory sulfate-reducing archaeon, Archaeoglobus fulgidus VC-16, both utilize carbon monoxide as energy source and is highly resistant to toxic effects of CO. This metabolic capacity was investigated by transcriptional response to growth with CO of cultures supplemented with sulfate (S-CO) or thiosulfate (T-CO), and without external electron acceptor (CO-without election acceptor ).
