The carbon source influences the energetic efficiency of the respiratory chain of N2-fixing Acetobacter diazotrophicus

Acetobacter diazotrophicus is a diazotrophic bacterium that colonizes sugarcane tissues. Glucose is oxidized to gluconate in the periplasm prior to uptake and metabolism. A membrane-bound glucose dehydrogenase quinoenzyme [which contains pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) as the prosthetic group] is inv...
