Microorganisms utilize electron bifurcating enzymes to carry out thermodynamically unfavorable reactions where a single enzyme reversibly couples an endergonic reaction to an exergonic reaction to generate a net reversible reaction with minimal free energy change. In essence, an exergonic chemical reaction is used to drive an endergonic one. Electron bifurcation is now recognized as a …
