Stenoxybacter acetivorans gen. nov., sp. nov., an Acetate-Oxidizing Obligate Microaerophile among Diverse O(2)-Consuming Bacteria from Termite Guts

In termite hindguts, fermentative production of acetate—a major carbon and energy source for the insect—depends on efficient removal of inwardly diffusing oxygen by microbes residing on and near the hindgut wall. However, little is known about the identity of these organisms or about the substrate(s...
