| Methanococcus maripaludis | Q877E3: alpha subunit fdhA2, Q877C5: beta subunit fdhB2, the Methanococcus maripaludis genome contains two gene clusters important for formate utilization. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that the two formate dehydrogenase gene sets arise from duplication events within the methanococcal lineage. The first gene cluster encodes homologs of formate dehydrogenase (FdhA1) and (FdhB1) subunits and a putative formate transporter (FdhC) as well as a carbonic anhydrase analog. The second gene cluster encodes only FdhA2 and FdhB2 homologs. Mutants lacking either fdhA gene exhibit a partial growth defect on formate, whereas a double mutant is completely unable to grow on formate as a sole methanogenic substrate |
