title: ANAEROBIC FORMATE OXIDATION: A FERREDOXIN-DEPENDENT REACTION.
abstract: The formate oxidizing system of Methanobacillus omelianskii is specific for nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide and requires ferredoxin, a biological carrier with the lowest known potential. ferredoxin from other obligate anaerobes is active in the reaction studied.
