2009 journal article

The Dual-Functioning Fumarate Reductase Is the Sole Succinate: Quinone Reductase in Campylobacter jejuni and Is Required for Full Host Colonization

JOURNAL OF BACTERIOLOGY, 191(16), 5293–5300.

By: R. Weingarten n, M. Taveirne n & J. Olson n

MeSH headings : Animals; Bacterial Proteins / genetics; Bacterial Proteins / metabolism; Bacterial Proteins / physiology; Campylobacter jejuni / enzymology; Campylobacter jejuni / genetics; Campylobacter jejuni / growth & development; Campylobacter jejuni / metabolism; Chickens; Citric Acid Cycle / genetics; Citric Acid Cycle / physiology; Fumarates / metabolism; Models, Genetic; Oxygen / metabolism; Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction; Succinate Dehydrogenase / genetics; Succinate Dehydrogenase / metabolism; Succinate Dehydrogenase / physiology; Succinic Acid / metabolism
TL;DR: Campylobacter jejuni encodes all the enzymes necessary for a complete oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and the in vivo importance of succinate oxidation was confirmed, as the frdA::cat(+) strain colonized chickens at significantly lower levels than the wild type, while the sdhA:: cat(+) strain colonize chickens at wild-type levels.

2008 journal article

Role of Campylobacter jejuni respiratory oxidases and reductases in host colonization

APPLIED AND ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY, 74(5), 1367–1375.

By: R. Weingarten n, J. Grimes n & J. Olson n

MeSH headings : Animals; Campylobacter jejuni / enzymology; Campylobacter jejuni / growth & development; Cecum / microbiology; Chickens / microbiology; Colony Count, Microbial; DNA Primers / genetics; Gene Components; Mass Spectrometry; Mutagenesis; Nitrates / metabolism; Oxidoreductases / genetics; Oxidoreductases / metabolism; Oxygen / metabolism; Species Specificity
TL;DR: While there appears to be a role for anaerobic respiration in host colonization, oxygen is the most important respiratory acceptor for C. jejuni in the chicken cecum. (via Semantic Scholar)
