Analysis of the core genome and pan-genome of autotrophic acetogenic bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Acetogens are obligate anaerobic bacteria capable of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) to multicarbon compounds coupled to the oxidation of inorganic substrates, such as hydrogen (H2) or carbon monoxide (CO), via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway.

Formate-Dependent Acetogenic Utilization of Glucose by the Fecal Acetogen Clostridium bovifaecis

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020
The acetyl-CoA pathway is an ancient pathway of CO 2 fixation, which converts 2 mol of CO 2 into acetyl-CoA. Autotrophic growth with H 2 and CO 2 via the acetyl-CoA pathway as the terminal electron accepting process is the most unique feature of

Energetics and Application of Heterotrophy in Acetogenic Bacteria [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2016
ABSTRACTAcetogenic bacteria are a diverse group of strictly anaerobic bacteria that utilize the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway for CO2fixation and energy conservation. These microorganisms play an important part in the global carbon cycle and are a key component of the anaerobic food web.

There Must be an Acetogen Somewhere [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
In the beginning of 1983, when I was a post-doctoral student at the University of Illinois, Ralph Wolfe handed me an offprint of a long article and said: “Read this!” That paper was the review by Thauer et al. (1977) on “Energy conservation in chemotrophic anaerobic bacteria.” I have read it many times.

Adaptive laboratory evolution of a thermophile toward a reduced growth temperature optimum

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Thermophily is an ancient trait among microorganisms. The molecular principles to sustain high temperatures, however, are often described as adaptations, somewhat implying that they evolved from a non-thermophilic background and that thermophiles, i.e ...

Surface Analysis of Coal Indicating Neutral Red Enhances the Precursor Steps of Methanogenesis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Artificially stimulated, high-yield microbial production of methane from coal is a challenging problem that continues to generate research interest. Decomposition of organic matter and production of methane from coal are the results of multiple redox ...

Methanogen Levels Are Significantly Associated with Fecal Microbiota Composition and Alpha Diversity in Healthy Adults and Irritable Bowel Syndrome Patients

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Hydrogenotrophic microbes, primarily including the three functional groups methanogens, sulfate-reducing bacteria, and reductive acetogens, use hydrogen as an energy source and play an important role in maintaining the hydrogen balance in gut ecosystems.

Biotransformations of aromatic aldehydes by acetogenic bacteria [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1990
Vanillin was subject to O demethylation and supported growth of Clostridium formicoaceticum and Clostridium thermoaceticum. Vanillin was also stimulatory to the CO-dependent growth of Peptostreptococcus productus. The aldehyde substituent of vanillin was metabolized by routes which were dependent upon both the acetogen and a co-metabolizable substrate (

Reprogramming the metabolism of an acetogenic bacterium to homoformatogenesis

The ISME Journal, 2023
Abstract Methyl groups are abundant in anoxic environments and their utilization as carbon and energy sources by microorganisms involves oxidation of the methyl groups to CO2, followed by transfer of the electrons to an acceptor. In acetogenic bacteria, the electron acceptor is CO2 that is reduced to enzyme bound carbon monoxide, the ...

High-Throughput Sequencing and Unsupervised Analysis of Formyltetrahydrofolate Synthetase (FTHFS) Gene Amplicons to Estimate Acetogenic Community Structure

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (FTHFS) gene is a molecular marker of choice to study the diversity of acetogenic communities. However, current analyses are limited due to lack of a high-throughput sequencing approach for FTHFS gene amplicons and a
