Although extensive studies on the oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) in aerobic carboxydotrophic bacteria have been carried out for over 30 years, utilization of CO as a source of carbon and energy by mycobacteria was recognized only recently. Studies on pathogenic and nonpathogenic mycobacteria have revealed that the basis for CO utilization in these bacteria is different in many aspects from that of other aerobic carboxydobacteria. We review the basis for CO utilization in mycobacterial carboxydobacteria, which is unique from physiological, biochemical, molecular, genetic and phylogenetic points of view.
尽管对需氧羧化营养菌中一氧化碳（CO）氧化的研究已经进行了 30 多年，但分枝杆菌利用 CO 作为碳源和能源的作用直到最近才被认识到。对致病性和非致病性分枝杆菌的研究表明，这些细菌中 CO 利用的基础在许多方面与其他需氧羧化菌不同。我们从生理、生化、分子、遗传和系统发育的角度综述了分枝杆菌羧化营养菌 CO 利用的基础，这是独特的。
