Why oxygen ceases the growth of strictly anaerobic bacteria is a longstanding question, yet the answer remains unclear. Studies have confirmed that the dehydratase—fumarase containing an iron-sulfur cluster ([4Fe–4S]) is inactivated upon exposure to oxygen in the intestinal obligate anaerobe,Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron(B. thetaiotaomicron); this blocks fumarate respiration, which is the essential energy-producing pathway in anaerobes. Here, we substituted the [4Fe–4S]-dependent fumarase inB. thetaiotaomicronwith an iron-free isozyme fromE. coli(Ec-FumC). Results show that Ec-FumC successfully performed the catalytic function of fumarase inB. thetaiotaomicron, as thefum-mutant strain that expressed Ec-FumC exhibited succinate-producing ability under anaerobic growth conditions. Ec-FumC is oxygen-resistant and remains active to produce fumarate upon aeration; however,B. thetaiotaomicronmutant that expressed Ec-FumC did not convert fumarate to succinate during air exposure. Biochemical assays of inverted membrane vesicles from wild-typeB. thetaiotaomicronconfirmed that the electron flux from NADH to fumarate was less efficient in the presence of air as compared to that without oxygen. Our findings suggest that the anaerobic fumarate respiration might be paralyzed due to electron dissipations upon aeration of the obligate anaerobe.
