Isolation and phenotypes of mutants from Salmonella typhimurium defective in formate hydrogenlyase activity

J Bacteriol. 1972 May;110(2):766-8. doi: 10.1128/jb.110.2.766-768.1972.

Abstract

A new method is described for the isolation of different mutants defective in formic dehydrogenase activity measured with benzyl viologen as electron acceptor.
