Abstract
ABSTRACT
The acetogens
Sporomusa silvacetica
,
Moorella thermoacetica
,
Clostridium magnum
,
Acetobacterium woodii
, and
Thermoanaerobacter kivui
(i) grew in both semisolid and liquid cultivation media containing O
2
and (ii) consumed small amounts of O
2
. Low concentrations of O
2
caused a lag phase in growth but did not alter the ability of these acetogens to synthesize acetate via the acetyl coenzyme A pathway. Cell extracts of
S. silvacetica
,
M. thermoacetica
, and
C. magnum
contained peroxidase and NADH oxidase activities; catalase and superoxide dismutase activities were not detected.
