Biological conversion of carbon monoxide: rich syngas or waste gases to bioethanol [PDF]
Bioconversion of syngas/waste gas components to produce ethanol appears to be a promising alternative compared to the existing chemical techniques. Recently, several laboratory-scale studies have demonstrated the use of acetogens that have the ability to

Lettuce fortification through vitamin B12‐producing bacteria – proof of concept study
Abstract BACKGROUND Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) can be produced de novo only by certain bacteria and archaea. It plays a crucial role in the health of animals and humans, which obtain it only through diet, mainly from animal products. This study aimed to identify endophytic bacterial strains capable of synthesizing vitamin B12 and enriching edible plants ...

Methanol and Carbon Monoxide Metabolism of the Thermophile Moorella caeni
An omics approach was used to elucidate the C1 metabolism of Moorella caeni DSM 21394 T, which exhibits acetogenic metabolism on methanol and hydrogenogenic metabolism on CO. Our results suggest that respiratory Complex I serves as the primary respiratory enzyme in methanol‐grown cells.

Metagenomic analysis of three thermophilic species was performed to identify key species for stable biogas production at high free ammonia levels (> 0.7 g/L). Potential acetogens and syntrophic acetate‐oxidising bacteria (SAOB) were recovered by looking for genes of the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway and glycine synthase reductase pathway.

Uneven distribution of cobamide biosynthesis and dependence in bacteria predicted by comparative genomics. [PDF]
The vitamin B12 family of cofactors known as cobamides are essential for a variety of microbial metabolisms. We used comparative genomics of 11,000 bacterial species to analyze the extent and distribution of cobamide production and use across bacteria ...

Vitamin B12: prevention of human beings from lethal diseases and its food application
Abstract Vitamin B12, a water‐soluble essential micronutrient, plays a pivotal role in numerous physiological processes in the human body. This review meticulously examines the structural complexity and the diverse mechanisms through which vitamin B12 exerts its preventive effects against a spectrum of health conditions, including pernicious anaemia ...
