An apparently new species of Clostridium was isolated from mud samples obtained from a stagnant lake near Athens, Georgia. These organisms were able to utilize inorganic pyrophosphate as a source of energy for growth, a phenomenon representing the simplest ATP-generating system in the biological world.
从佐治亚州雅典附近一个停滞湖泊采集的泥浆样本中分离出一种明显的新型梭状芽孢杆菌。这些微生物能够利用无机焦磷酸作为生长的能量来源,这一现象代表了生物界最简单的ATP生成系统。
