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.

Studies on the Corrinoids and Porphyrins in Streptomycetes
A corrinoid, formed predominantly in the cells of Streptomyces olivaceus 605 grown aerobically on a glucose-lactose medium, was identical with 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazolyl-cobamide coenzyme (DBC coenzyme) by paper chromatography, paper ionophoresis, absorption spectrophotometry, assay of the coenzyme activity in diol dehydratase system and other tests ...
