The genetic basis of energy conservation in the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio alaskensis G20. [PDF]
Sulfate-reducing bacteria play major roles in the global carbon and sulfur cycles, but it remains unclear how reducing sulfate yields energy. To determine the genetic basis of energy conservation, we measured the fitness of thousands of pooled mutants of

Intracellular Hg(0) Oxidation in Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ND132 [PDF]
The disposal of elemental mercury (Hg(0)) wastes in mining and manufacturing areas has caused serious soil and groundwater contamination issues. Under anoxic conditions, certain anaerobic bacteria can oxidize dissolved elemental mercury and convert the ...

The ability of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans Ya-11 bacteria to use nitrate as terminal electron acceptor was studied. The level of biomass accumulation in the medium with nitrate changed depending on the initial NO3– concentration. At nitrate concentration

Gene Expression Correlates with Process Rates Quantified for Sulfate- and Fe(III)-Reducing Bacteria in U(VI)-Contaminated Sediments [PDF]
Though iron- and sulfate-reducing bacteria are well known for mediating uranium(VI) reduction in contaminated subsurface environments, quantifying the in situ activity of the microbial groups responsible remains a challenge.

Structure of rubredoxin from the bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans [PDF]
The X‐ray crystallographic structure of rubredoxin from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans strain 27774 is described. This molecule is 15% smaller than previously studied rubredoxins, lacking a seven‐residue loop of chain but containing a histidine and a free‐sulfhydryl cysteine.

Characterization of Desulfovibrio giganteus sp. nov., a sulfate-reducing bacterium isolated from a brackish coastal lagoon [PDF]
In the course of ecological studies in Berre Lagoon, a mediterranean brackish coastal lagoon (Marseille, France), a new slightly halophilic sulfate-reducing bacterium was isolated from anoxic sediments enriched with lactate plus sulfate, and cysteine-HCL

Effects of oxygen on the growth of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans [PDF]
Summary: Desulfovibrio desulfuricans survived exposure to air on the surface of agar plates for at least 48 h. Under continuous culture conditions two effects of low oxygen partial pressures (10–15 mmHg) were noted: (1) a relief of inhibition by H2S; (2) specific inductive responses to oxygen including an increase in cell respiration (two- to threefold)

The highest catalase activity (42.67×10–2 µM×min–1×mg–1 of protein) in the cells of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans Ya-11 has been observed under the prolonged Pb(NO3)2 influence. In the presence of other heavy metals’ salts it has been changed in dependence

Stepwise isotope editing of [FeFe]-hydrogenases exposes cofactor dynamics [PDF]
The six-iron cofactor of [FeFe]-hydrogenases (H-cluster) is the most efficient H2-forming catalyst in nature. It comprises a diiron active site with three carbon monoxide (CO) and two cyanide (CN−) ligands in the active oxidized state (Hox) and one ...
