Abstract:[MoCu]‐dependent carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (Mo‐CODH) catalyze the hydroxylation of CO, which produces CO
2
and consumes H
2
O in the process. Aerobic carbon monoxide oxidizing bacteria and archaea use Mo‐CODH to generate energy by providing the respiratory chain with CO‐derived electrons, and aerobic CO‐oxidizers that possess the genes for CO
2
fixation can also use CO as a carbon source. Due to the pervasive nature of CO in the atmos… Show more
