Receptor uptake arrays for vitamin B12, siderophores and glycans shape bacterial communities

, 2017
Molecular variants of vitamin B12, siderophores and glycans occur. To take up variant forms, bacteria may express an array of receptors. The gut microbe Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron has three different receptors to take up variants of vitamin B12 and 88 ...

Trace metal requirements for microbial enzymes involved in the production and consumption of methane and nitrous oxide [PDF]

, 2012
Fluxes of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere are heavily influenced by microbiological activity. Microbial enzymes involved in the production and consumption of greenhouse gases often contain metal cofactors.

Polyphenol Oxidase Activity on Guaiacyl and Syringyl Lignin Units

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 136, Issue 48, November 25, 2024.
The conversion of lignin‐derived guaiacyl (G) and syringyl (S) compounds into methoxy‐ortho‐diphenols through oxidative ortho‐hydroxylation and ortho‐demethoxylation reactions catalyzed by novel fungal polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) is presented. The formation of o‐diphenols rather than reactive quinones can be steered by the addition of a reductant. These

Influence of vitamin B12 and light on the formation of chlorosomes in green- and brown-colored Chlorobium species [PDF]

, 1993
The specific Bchl a and c content of the vitamin B12-dependent Chlorobium limicola strain 1230 decreased strongly under vitamin B12 limitation. In comparison to a regularly grown culture (20 g vitamin B12/l) the specific Bchl c content of a B12-limited ...

Evolutionary Trajectories of Methionine Metabolism in Mycobacterium and Its Application to Engineer a Vitamin B12 Whole‐Cell Ribosensor

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 6, June 2025.
Molecular and functional experiments highlight the relevance of species‐specific polymorphisms in a B12 riboswitch of the Mycobacterium genus. This information provided proof‐of‐concept to engineer a whole‐cell biosensor capable of detecting vitamin B12. ABSTRACT Vitamin B12 metabolism differs among members of the Mycobacterium genus.

Lettuce fortification through vitamin B12‐producing bacteria – proof of concept study

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 6, Page 3343-3354, April 2025.
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

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2025.
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.

Uneven distribution of cobamide biosynthesis and dependence in bacteria predicted by comparative genomics. [PDF]

, 2019
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 ...

Metagenomic Exploration Uncovers Several Novel ‘Candidatus’ Species Involved in Acetate Metabolism in High‐Ammonia Thermophilic Biogas Processes

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2025.
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.
