The year 2021 marked the thirty-fifth anniversary of the discovery of microbial hemoglobins by Dale Webster and his colleagues
The importance of this work lay in its showing that hemoglobins are a much more ancient family of proteins and are much more widely distributed among taxa than previously recognized, and that, while their functions all involve oxygen in one way or another, these functions are variable. This Special Issue begins with a retrospective from Professor Webster and his colleagues about the earliest work that led to the identification of the first-known microbial hemoglobin (“VHb”, from the bacterium Vitreoscilla), as well as early studies on its metabolic roles and its use in practical applications to enhance industrial and environmental remediation processes
Summary
The year 2021 marked the thirty-fifth anniversary of the discovery of microbial hemoglobins by Dale Webster and his colleagues. Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.
