Quinone extraction drives atmospheric carbon monoxide oxidation in bacteria.

Nat Chem Biol

January 2025

Department of Microbiology, Biomedicine Discovery Institute, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia.

Diverse bacteria and archaea use atmospheric CO as an energy source for long-term survival. Bacteria use [MoCu]-CO dehydrogenases (Mo-CODH) to convert atmospheric CO to carbon dioxide, transferring the obtained electrons to the aerobic respiratory chain. However, it is unknown how these enzymes oxidize CO at low concentrations and interact with the respiratory chain.
