Sugar-inducible promoters for manipulation of core metabolic pathways in the thermophilic acetogen Thermoanaerobacter kivui [PDF]
Acetogenic bacteria form an essential part of the global carbon cycle and show promise for green chemicals production thanks to their energy-efficient carbon fixation via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. Energy conservation in acetogens is dependent on one of

A two-stage strategy for methanogenesis suppression and rapid acetogenic biofilm formation in microbial electrosynthesis [PDF]
The practical implementation of microbial electrosynthesis (MES) is currently limited by the slow microbial colonisation of the electrode and the need to suppress methanogenic activity.

Anaerobic Carbon Monoxide Dehydrogenase Diversity in the Homoacetogenic Hindgut Microbial Communities of Lower Termites and the Wood Roach [PDF]
Anaerobic carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) is a key enzyme in the Wood-Ljungdahl (acetyl-CoA) pathway for acetogenesis performed by homoacetogenic bacteria.

Transformation of 1,1,1-trichloroethane in an anaerobic packed-bed reactor at various concentrations of 1,1,1-trichloroethane, acetate and sulfate [PDF]
Biotransformation of 1,1,1-trichloroethane (CH3CCl3) was observed in an anaerobic packed-bed reactor under conditions of both sulfate reduction and methanogenesis. Acetate (1 mM) served as an electron donor.

A Cytochrome c-Containing Periplasmic Nitrate Reductase in the Acetogen Sporomusa ovata. [PDF]
Sporomusa ovata, a cytochrome‐containing, acetogenic bacterium, conserves energy by reduction of carbon dioxide to acetate. Nitrate serves as additional electron acceptor and is reduced to ammonium, resulting in increased growth and reduced acetate production.

Carboxydotrophic Acetogenesis in Alkaline Conditions Results in Transient Formate Production by the Halo-Alkaliphilic Acetogen Haloacetibacter carboxydivorans Gen. Nov. sp. Nov. [PDF]
This work presents the physiological exploration of the halo‐alkaliphilic, carboxydotrophic acetogen bacterium MD4. In contrast to well‐characterised neutrophilic and slightly acidophilic acetogenic carboxydotrophs, this work shows an important role for formate production, instead of ethanol, as a redox exhaust mechanism in alkaline conditions ...
