The study investigated the ability of selected (hyper-)thermophilic prokaryotes to grow anaerobically by the reduction of perchlorate and chlorate. Physiological, genomic and proteome analyses suggest that the Crenarchaeon Aeropyrum pernix reduces (per)chlorate with a periplasmic enzyme related to n...
