Reduced ferredoxin: CO2 oxidoreductase from Clostridium pasteurianum: its role in formate metabolism

THE ACTIVITY OF REDUCED FERREDOXIN: CO(2) oxidoreductase in Clostridium pasteurianum was correlated with the accumulation of formate in the growth medium. The data indicate that the in vivo function of the enzyme is to mediate formate synthesis rather than its degradation.
