Solution structures of tetrahaem ferricytochrome c(3) from Desulfovibrio vulgaris (Hildenborough) and its K45Q mutant: The molecular basis of cooperativity [PDF]
The NMR structure of the oxidised wild-type cytochrome c(3) from Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough was determined in solution. Using a newly developed methodology, NMR data from the K45Q mutant was then grafted onto data from the wild-type protein to ...

Abstract Microbial sulfate reduction is central to the global carbon cycle and the redox evolution of Earth's surface. Tracking the activity of sulfate reducing microorganisms over space and time relies on a nuanced understanding of stable sulfur isotope fractionation in the context of the biochemical machinery of the metabolism.

Kinetic Properties of Hxdrogenase Isolated from Desulfovibrio vulgaris (Hildenborough) [PDF]
Hydrogenase of Desulfovibrio vulgaris shows nonlinear kinetics in hydrogen production with both the natural electron carrier, cytochrome c3, and the artifical donor, methyl viologen semiquinone. Increasing concentrations of salt progressively inhibit the hydrogen production, as do increasing amounts of dimethylsulfoxide (Me2SO).

Characterization of a butyrate kinase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris str. Hildenborough
ABSTRACT Short and branched chain fatty acid kinases participate in both bacterial anabolic and catabolic processes, including fermentation, through the reversible, ATP-dependent synthesis of acyl phosphates. This study reports biochemical properties of a predicted butyrate kinase from Desulfovibrio vulgaris str.

Genomic Comparisons Between a Metal-resistant Strain of Desulfovibrio Vulgaris and the Type Strain D. Vulgaris Hildenborough [PDF]
A sulfate-reducing bacterium closely related to Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough was isolated from heavy-metal impacted lake sediments located in northern Illinois (Lake DePue).

Hydrogen-peroxide-induced oxidative stress responses in Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough [PDF]
To understand how sulphate-reducing bacteria respond to oxidative stresses, the responses of Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough to H{sub 2}O{sub 2}-induced stresses were investigated with transcriptomic, proteomic and genetic approaches.

The Alternative Haem Biosynthesis Pathway: Structure, Function and Properties of Sirohaem Decarboxylase [PDF]
Haem, a cyclic tetrapyrrole, is found in organisms from all three domains of life. Haem is a prosthetic group for many proteins involved in essential biological processes such as respiration and oxygen transport.

The deep terrestrial subsurface (DTS) harbours a striking diversity of microorganisms. We found altering growth medium composition to induce changes in the enriched DTS bacterial community structure, while sharing common universal metabolic features linked to cell homeostasis, osmoregulation, lipid metabolism, dissimilatory sulphate reduction and ...

Induction and partial purification of bacteriophages from Desulfovibrio vulgaris (Hildenborough) and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 13541 [PDF]
Bacteriophages were induced from cultures of Desulfovibrio vulgaris NCIMB 8303 and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ATCC 13541 by UV light. The optimum time of UV exposure was 1 min and the maximum yield of phage was obtained 9-10 h after UV treatment. The two phage preparations were compared by restriction enzyme analysis and Southern blot hybridization ...
