Chemoautotrophic growth of ammonia-oxidizing Thaumarchaeota enriched from a pelagic redox gradient in the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are an important component of the planktonic community in aquatic habitats, linking nitrogen and carbon cycles through nitrification and carbon fixation.

Characterize the Growth and Metabolism of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans under Electroautotrophic and Chemoautotrophic Conditions [PDF]
Acidophiles are capable of surviving in extreme environments with low pH. Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is a typical acidophilic bacterium that has been extensively studied when grown chemoautotrophically, i.e., when it derives energy from oxidation of ...

Whole-genome transcriptional profiling of Bradyrhizobium japonicum during chemoautotrophic growth. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bradyrhizobium japonicum is a facultative chemoautotroph capable of utilizing hydrogen gas as an electron donor in a respiratory chain terminated by oxygen to provide energy for cellular processes and carbon dioxide assimilation via a reductive pentose phosphate pathway. A transcriptomic analysis of

Metabolic biochemical models of N2 fixation for sulfide oxidizers, methanogens, and methanotrophs [PDF]
Dinitrogen (N2) fixation provides bioavailable nitrogen to the biosphere. However, in some habitats (e.g., sediments), the metabolic pathways of organisms carrying out N2 fixation are unclear. We present metabolic models representing various chemotrophic

Chemoautotrophic production of gaseous hydrocarbons, bioplastics and osmolytes by a novel Halomonas species [PDF]
Background Production of relatively low value, bulk commodity chemicals and fuels by microbial species requires a step-change in approach to decrease the capital and operational costs associated with scaled fermentation. The utilisation of the robust and

Tilapia nursery stocking densities in a chemoautotrophic biofloc system [PDF]
The nursery phase in tilapia using biofloc technology is important as it increases the predictability of production. However, none studies evaluating the stocking densities of tilapia focused only on the use of an inorganic carbon source to promote the ...

Summary: Chemoautotrophic bacteria play an important role in combating the rise in global CO2. However, recently it was found that extracellular free organic carbon (EFOC) generated by chemoautotrophic bacteria inhibits their CO2 fixation.

Chemoautotrophic carbon fixation rates and active bacterial communities in intertidal marine sediments. [PDF]
Chemoautotrophy has been little studied in typical coastal marine sediments, but may be an important component of carbon recycling as intense anaerobic mineralization processes in these sediments lead to accumulation of high amounts of reduced compounds,
