Lactate is a universal metabolite and energy source, yet the mode of lactate metabolism in many strictly anaerobic microorganisms is still enigmatic. This sparked us to investigate the biochemistry and bioenergetics of lactate metabolism in the model acetogenic bacterium Moorella thermoacetica. Growth and metabolism were dependent on CO2 and the chemiosmotic gradient. We discovered a l-lactateNAD+ oxidoreductase (LDH) in cell-free extracts, exhibiting an average specific activity of 362.8 ± 22.9 mU mg-1 . The enzyme was reversi
