Abstract
The metabolic flexibility of Clostridium acetobutylicum during growth on glucose with methyl viologen addition (1 mM) and/or iron limitation was examined in batch cultures at pH 5.5. The physiological effects o f iron limitation and methyl viologen addition are additive, suggestin g that they have different and complementary sites of action.
