Energetics of bacterial growth: balance of anabolic and catabolic reactions
JB Russell, GM Cook - Microbiological reviews, 1995 - Am Soc Microbiol
Biomass formation represents one of the most basic aspects of bacterial metabolism. While
there is an abundance of information concerning individual reactions that result in cell …

Genomic and metagenomic surveys of hydrogenase distribution indicate H2 is a widely utilised energy source for microbial growth and survival
Recent physiological and ecological studies have challenged the long-held belief that microbial
metabolism of molecular hydrogen (H 2 ) is a niche process. To gain a broader insight …

Isolation and characterization of arsenate-reducing bacteria from arsenic-contaminated sites in New Zealand
CR Anderson, GM Cook - Current microbiology, 2004 - Springer
Two environmental sites in New Zealand were sampled (eg, water and sediment) for bacterial
isolates that could use either arsenite as an electron donor or arsenate as an electron …

[HTML][HTML] Unique flexibility in energy metabolism allows mycobacteria to combat starvation and hypoxia
Mycobacteria are a group of obligate aerobes that require oxygen for growth, but paradoxically
have the ability to survive and metabolize under hypoxia. The mechanisms responsible …
