Description of Treponema azotonutricium sp. nov. and Treponema primitia sp. nov., the First Spirochetes Isolated from Termite Guts [PDF]
Long after their original discovery, termite gut spirochetes were recently isolated in pure culture for the first time. They revealed metabolic capabilities hitherto unknown in the Spirochaetes division of the Bacteria, i.e., H2 plus CO2 acetogenesis (J.

Cobalamin‐dependent aryl methyl ether O‐demethylases have high potential for biocatalytic applications, including lignin valorization and synthetic chemistry. In this review, we provide a detailed overview of such O‐demethylase systems identified to date from various microorganisms, including their mechanism, substrate scope and selectivity, and ...

Nickel transport by the thermophilic acetogen Acetogenium kivui [PDF]
Exogenous 63Ni was incorporated into carbon monoxide dehydrogenase when Acetogenium kivui ATCC 33488 was cultivated in the presence of 63NiCl2. The capacity for nickel (63NiCl2) transport was greatest with cells harvested from the mid- to late exponential phases of growth.

Current understanding of electroautotrophy and its relevance in astrobiology‐related research
Abstract Electroautotrophy—the use of extracellular electrons as the primary energy source for autotrophic metabolism—remains understudied compared to photoautotrophy and chemoautotrophy. Its occurrence in deep‐earth and deep‐sea environments suggests profound implications for astrobiology, yet electroautotrophic microorganisms remain poorly explored ...

Examination of a culturable microbial population from the gastrointestinal tract of the wood-eating loricariid catfish Panaque nigrolineatus [PDF]
Fish play a critical role in nutrient cycling and organic matter flow in aquatic environments. However, little is known about the microbial diversity within the gastrointestinal tracts that may be essential in these degradation activities.

Formyltetrahydrofolate Synthetase Gene Diversity in the Guts of Higher Termites with Different Diets and Lifestyles [PDF]
In this study, we examine gene diversity for formyl-tetrahydrofolate synthetase (FTHFS), a key enzyme in homoacetogenesis, recovered from the gut microbiota of six species of higher termites.

Magnetite Nanoparticles Enhancing H2‐Driven Biomethanation in a Mixed Microbial Community
Supplementation of magnetite nanoparticles to a mixed microbial culture accelerates H2/CO2 biomethanation by up to 13‐fold. The observed enhancement is accompanied by a marked enrichment of Paracoccus sp., suggesting the establishment of a mutualistic interaction with hydrogenotrophic methanogens via interspecies electron transfer.
