CO utilization by a CO(2)-requiring extremely oligotrophic bacterium, Rhodococcus erythropolis N9T-4 was found when CO(2) was removed from the culture environment before cultivation, suggesting that this bacterium can convert CO into CO(2). However, the gene encoding putative CO dehydrogenase large subunit in N9T-4 was not induced by CO.
当在培养前从培养环境中去除 CO2 时,发现需要 CO2 的极端寡营养细菌 Rhodococcus erythropolis N9T-4 利用 CO,这表明该细菌可以将 CO 转化为 CO2。然而,N9T-4 中编码假定的 CO 脱氢酶大亚基的基因并未被 CO 诱导。
