Abstract

Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae is a capnophilic pathogen of the porcine respiratory tract lacking enzymes of the oxidative branch of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. We previously claimed that A. pleuropneumoniae instead uses the reductive branch in order to generate energy and metabolites. Here, we show that bicarbonate and oxaloacetate supported anaerobic growth of A. pleuropneumoniae .
