Cell surface differences within the genus Methanosarcina shape interactions with the extracellular environment [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology
Methanosarcina are metabolically versatile methanogenic archaea that can perform extracellular electron transfer (EET), with important ecological and biotechnological implications.

Different outer membrane c‐type cytochromes are involved in direct interspecies electron transfer to Geobacter or Methanosarcina species

open access: yesmLife, 2022
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) may be most important in methanogenic environments, but mechanistic studies of DIET to date have primarily focused on cocultures in which fumarate was the terminal electron acceptor.

Insights into the biotechnology potential of Methanosarcina

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Methanogens are anaerobic archaea which conserve energy by producing methane. Found in nearly every anaerobic environment on earth, methanogens serve important roles in ecology as key organisms of the global carbon cycle, and in industry as a source of ...

Responses of Methanosarcina barkeri to acetate stress [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels, 2019
Background Anaerobic digestion of easily degradable biowaste can lead to the accumulation of volatile fatty acids, which will cause environmental stress to the sensitive methanogens consequently. The metabolic characteristics of methanogens under acetate

Methanosarcina acetivorans.

open access: yesTrends in Microbiology, 2022
Methanosarcina acetivorans is a strictly anaerobic methane-producing archaeon (methanogen) that was isolated from marine sediment beneath a kelp bed in the Sumner branch of Scripps Canyon near La Jolla, California, in 1984. Over the years it has become a

Deconstructing Methanosarcina acetivorans into an acetogenic archaeon

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2022
Significance The reductive acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) pathway is the only carbon fixation pathway that can also be used for energy conservation like it is known for acetogenic bacteria. In methanogenic archaea, this pathway is extended with one route

Genus-specific remodeling of carbon and energy metabolism facilitates acetoclastic methanogenesis in Methanosarcina spp. and Methanothrix spp. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology
Methanogenic archaea (methanogens) are microorganisms that obligately produce methane as a byproduct of their energy metabolism. While most methanogens grow on CO2+H2, isolates of the genera Methanosarcina and Methanothrix can use acetate as the sole ...

Magnetite drives microbial community restructuring and stimulates aceticlastic methanogenesis of type II Methanosarcina in mangrove sediments [PDF]

open access: yesMicrobiome
Background Mangrove wetlands are critical hotspots of methane emissions, yet the role of naturally occurring minerals in shaping their microbial communities and methanogenic processes is poorly understood.

Time-shifted expression of acetoclastic and methylotrophic methanogenesis by a single Methanosarcina genomospecies predominates the methanogen dynamics in Philippine rice field soil

open access: yesMicrobiome
Background The final step in the anaerobic decomposition of biopolymers is methanogenesis. Rice field soils are a major anthropogenic source of methane, with straw commonly used as a fertilizer in rice farming.
