Moorella thermoacetica (originally isolated as Clostridium thermoaceticum) has served as the primary acetogenic bacterium for the resolution of the acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) or Wood-Ljungdahl pathway, a metabolic pathway that (i) autotrophically assimilates CO2 and (ii) is centrally important to the turnover of carbon in many habitats. The purpose of this article is to highlight the diverse physiological features of this model acetogen and to examine some of the consequences of its metabolic capabilities.
热醋穆尔氏菌（最初分离为热乙酸梭菌）一直是用于解析乙酰辅酶A（acetyl-CoA）或伍德-Ljungdahl途径的主要产乙酸细菌，该代谢途径（i）自养同化二氧化碳，并且（ii）对于许多生境中碳的周转至关重要。本文的目的是突出这种典型产乙酸菌的多种生理特征，并探讨其代谢能力带来的一些影响。
