Scale-up of biomass production by Methanococcus maripaludis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The development of a sustainable energy economy is one of the great challenges in the current times of climate crisis and growing energy demands. Industrial production of the fifth-generation biofuel methane by microorganisms has the potential to become ...

In Vivo Enzyme Catalytic Rates in Formate‐Growing Methanococcus maripaludis
Microbial BiotechnologyTurnover numbers (kcat) describe intrinsic catalytic capacities of enzymes. Although they have been characterized in vitro for many model organisms, such data is scarce for anaerobic Archaea like the methanogen Methanococcus maripaludis.

Growth Coordination Between Butyrate-Oxidizing Syntrophs and Hydrogenotrophic Methanogens
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Syntrophy is a thermodynamically required mutualistic cooperation between fatty acid-oxidizing bacteria and methanogens that plays the important role in organic decomposition and methanogenesis in anoxic environments.

Microorganisms, 2022 Electromethanogenesis is an interesting next-generation technology to produce methane from CO2 and electricity by using methanogens. Iron-corroding methanogens might be of special interest for that application due to their natural ability for electron ...

Genetic and metabolic engineering of Methanococcus spp
Current Research in Biotechnology, 2023 Methanococcus is a genus of well-characterized mesophilic and hydrogenotrophic methanogens with a robust genetic system. Commonly found in tidal marshes, they compete with sulfate- and iron-reducing bacteria for hydrogen gas (H2) and formate, their two ...

Purine metabolism in Methanococcus vannielii [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1993 Methanococcus vannielii is capable of degrading purines to the extent that each of these purines may serve as the sole nitrogen source for growth. Results presented here demonstrate that purine degradation by M. vannielii is accomplished by a route similar to that described for clostridia.

Complete genome assembly and methylome dissection of Methanococcus aeolicus PL15/Hp
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Although restriction-modification systems are found in both Eubacterial and Archaeal kingdoms, comparatively less is known about patterns of DNA methylation and genome defense systems in archaea.

Chemotaxis in the archaebacterium Methanococcus voltae [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1989 The archaebacterium Methanococcus voltae, was shown to be chemotactic. Acetate, isoleucine, and leucine were identified as attractants; whereas histidine was not an attractant. A motile, generally nonchemotactic mutant was isolated.

Internalization of Sucrose by Methanococcus thermolithotrophicus [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1995 When sucrose is present in the external medium, it is internalized by Methanococcus thermolithotrophicus. Sucrose internalization, as determined by both natural abundance (sup13)C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and [(sup14)C]sucrose uptake, is directly proportional to external sucrose levels.
