I just got the copy of a cool paper recently published in Applied and Environmental Microbiology. I haven’t fully read it yet but it looks really interesting. The main objective is to understand Shewanella‘s aerobic/anaerobic metabolism of lactate, pyruvate, and acetate. There are a number of interesting results and conclusions that should be highly relevant to anyone working with Shewanella. Here is a link to the paper:
Pyruvate and Lactate Metabolism by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 under Fermentative, Oxygen-limited and Fumarate-Respiring Conditions
Authors: Grigoriy E. Pinchuk, Oleg V. Geydebrekht, Eric A. Hill, Jennifer L. Reed, Allan E. Konopka, Alexander S. Beliaev, and Jim K. Fredrickson
