Methanococcus vannielii: ultrastructure and sensitivity to detergents and antibiotics [PDF]
Methanococcus vannielii is a strictly anaerobic motile coccus that possesses a tuft of flagellae. The cells are markedly sensitive to mechanical stress and are readily lysed by detergents, but the organism grows normally in media of low ionic strength. The absence of a typical cell wall, further suggested by resistance of M.

Advancement in Anaerobic Digestion for Scaling‐Up Biogas Production Through Food Waste Valorization
The review article begins with an introduction that covers the overview, food waste (FW) classification, and the steps involved in producing biogas through anaerobic digestion (AD). Following that, it describes the process for producing biogas, including single‐, two‐, and multistage systems, mesophilic and thermophilic digestion, and wet and dry ...

Relationship of formate to growth and methanogenesis by Methanococcus thermolithotrophicus [PDF]
Methanococcus thermolithotrophicus is a methanogenic archaebacterium that can use either H2 or formate as its source of electrons for reduction of CO2 to methane. Growth and suspended-whole-cell experiments show that H2 plus CO2 methanogenesis was constitutive, while formate methanogenesis required adaptation time; selenium was necessary for formate ...

An electrogenic sodium-translocating ATPase in Methanococcus voltae [PDF]
A membrane potential negative inside generated by the electrogenic efflux K+ via valinomycin was demonstrated to be a driving force for the synthesis of ATP in Methanococcus voltae, but only in the presence of sodium.

Transcription start site associated RNAs (TSSaRNAs) are ubiquitous in all domains of life.
A plethora of non-coding RNAs has been discovered using high-resolution transcriptomics tools, indicating that transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation is much more complex than previously appreciated.

Abstract Advancements in biofuel production technologies are essential for reducing global dependence on fossil fuels and addressing their overexploitation. Many valuable components of biomass, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, remain underused in traditional biorefineries, which typically rely on a single feedstock to produce a primary ...

Biochemistry and genetics of autotrophy in Methanococcus. Progress report
In the last two years of this research, the most exciting results have come from the work on the genetics of methanococci. First, the author demonstrated that the cryptic plasmid from Methanococcus maripaludis C5, pURB500, could be transformed into ...

The H+ ATPase regulatory subunit of Methanococcus thermolithotrophicus: Amplification of an 800 bp fragment by polymerase chain reaction [PDF]
An 800 bp fragment of Methanococcus thermolithotrophicus genomic DNA was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction method using primers designed from conserved regions of the V-type H+ ATPase regulatory subunits from the archaebacterium Sulfolobus, and ...

Tn‐seq analysis of Thermus thermophilus genome reveals insertions in almost all genes, this is, there is no clear discrimination of essential genes. A similar result has not been reported in other Tn‐seq analysis of bacterial genomes so far. The polyploidy of the Thermus genome could explain the apparent non‐essentiality of key genes.
