Sulfate-Reducing ElectroAutotrophs and Their Applications in Bioelectrochemical Systems

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2018
Electroautotrophs are microbes able to perform different biocathodic reactions by using CO2 as sole carbon source and electrochemical reducing power as a sole energy source.

Temperature Sensitivity of Leaf Wax n‐Alkane Carbon Isotopes: Mechanisms and Implications for Terrestrial Paleoclimates

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract While climate signals encapsulated in the 13C content of C3 plants' leaf wax n‐alkanes are largely tied to precipitation, they may also be sensitive to plant physiological responses to temperature. In this study, statistical analyses on a global data set of modern plants reveal a correlation between the 13C discrimination for leaf waxes ...

Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, 18 February 2026.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Careful CO Addition Enhances Autotrophic d‐Lactate Formation With Engineered Acetobacterium woodii

Engineering in Life Sciences, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The acetogen A. woodii efficiently converts CO2 and H2 to acetate. Metabolic engineering enabled the autotrophic production of non‐native products, for example, d‐lactate from CO2 by overexpression of d‐lactate dehydrogenase from Leuconostoc mesenteroides and knockout of the native lactate dehydrogenase. During gas fermentation with acetogens,

Edible Fungi Are a Hidden Source of Carbon Monoxide and Carbon Dioxide

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study provides the first and robust evidence that edible mushrooms, such as Lentinula edodes, Pleurotus ostreatus and P. eryngii, can generate carbon monoxide (CO) as part of their metabolic activity—independent of bacteria, illumination or oxygen limitation. This is largely different from what was previously recognised. The findings resulted from

Multi-omics analysis reveals the genetic basis for rapid CO2 utilization in the acetogenic bacterium Sporomusa sphaeroides KIAC

mSystems
Sporomusa sphaeroides KIAC is a novel acetogen isolated from cattle feces that exhibits rapid CO2 utilization. To investigate the molecular basis of this phenotype, we performed a comprehensive multi-omics analysis, including Genome-seq, RNA-seq, dRNA ...

Carboxydotrophic Acetogenesis in Alkaline Conditions Results in Transient Formate Production by the Halo‐Alkaliphilic Acetogen Haloacetibacter carboxydivorans Gen. Nov. sp. Nov

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
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 ...

Biological Conversion of Formate to Organic Compounds: Toward a Sustainable Formate Bioeconomy

Carbon Energy, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
Formate bioconversion plays a crucial role in achieving renewable resource utilization and sustainable development. To tap its full potential, it is important to identify the most appropriate microbial hosts for incorporating formate into building blocks, design the most promising metabolic pathways for transmitting formate into central carbon ...

Microbial Ecology of Anaerobic Digesters: The Key Players of Anaerobiosis

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Anaerobic digestion is the method of wastes treatment aimed at a reduction of their hazardous effects on the biosphere. The mutualistic behavior of various anaerobic microorganisms results in the decomposition of complex organic substances into simple ...
