The role of acetogens in microbially influenced corrosion of steel [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Microbially influenced corrosion (MIC) of iron (Fe(0)) by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) has been studied extensively. Through a mechanism, that is still poorly understood, electrons or hydrogen (H2) molecules are removed from the metal surface and used as electron donor for sulfate reduction.

A Metagenome‐Assembled Genome Catalog From the Global Ruminant Microbiomes
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.The Ruminant Gastrointestinal MAG Catalog (RGMC) is a comprehensive global resource offering 40,812 strain‐level genomes across 53 bacterial and 4 archaeal classes. It greatly surpasses prior efforts in scale and diversity, serving as an essential foundation for research in ruminant nutrition, microbial function, and methane mitigation.

Physiology, phylogeny, and LUCA
Microbial Cell, 2016 Genomes record their own history. But if we want to look all the way back to life’s beginnings some 4 billion years ago, the record of microbial evolution that is preserved in prokaryotic genomes is not easy to read. Microbiology has a lot in common with

CleanMat, EarlyView.Efficient conversion of organic waste to biogas depends on the coordinated optimization of feedstock composition, pretreatment, operational parameters, reactor design, and microbial community dynamics. This review highlights how these interacting factors improve methane yield and process stability, advancing anaerobic digestion as a practical pathway ...

Interconnection of methanogenic and acetogenic pathways [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1983 Methanopterin displays a folate-like biochemistry: methenyl-, methylene- and methyltetrahydromethanopterin are intermediates in the process of methanogenesis. A corrinoid-enzyme is involved in methanol conversion and the possible function of such enzymes in cell-carbon synthesis and acetate conversion is discussed.

Obligate autotrophy at the thermodynamic limit of life in a new acetogenic bacterium
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 One of the important current issues of bioenergetics is the establishment of the thermodynamic limits of life. There is still no final understanding of what is the minimum value of the energy yield of a reaction that is sufficient to be used by an ...

Prebiotic aqueous reactions catalyzed by native nickel without hydrogen
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Serpentinizing (H2‐producing) hydrothermal vents are candidate environments for metabolic origin. They generate highly reducing conditions that convert CO2 to formate and methane in abiotic reactions resembling reactions of the acetyl‐CoA pathway of CO2 fixation. They also contain natural catalysts. Native nickel (Ni0), like Fe0, Co0, and their alloys,
