The anaerobic bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum uses glutamate decarboxylation to generate a transmembrane gradient of Na+. Here, we demonstrate that this ion-motive force is directly coupled to ATP s
Genome sequencing to study the core and pangenome of soil and plant-associated prokaryote with applications in energy production, global carbon cycling and sequestration, and biogeochemistry
(ATP was measured after harvesting the cells, after anoxic incubation for 2 h, and after flushing the suspension with air in the light [400 µmol photons m−2 s−1, 2 min].
