A biochemical framework for anaerobic oxidation of methane driven by Fe(III)-dependent respiration
The unavailability of pure cultures has prevented a mechanistic understanding of anaerobic methanotrophy. Here the authors report a biochemical investigation of Methanosarcina acetivorans that supports a pathway anchored by Fe(III)-dependent mechanisms ...

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 ...

Insights into the NrpR regulon in Methanosarcina mazei Gö1
The methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina mazei strain Gö1 contains two homologues of NrpR, the transcriptional repressor of nitrogen assimilation genes recently discovered and characterized in Methanococcus maripaludis. Insertion of a puromycin-resistance conferring cassette into MM1085 encoding a single NrpR domain with an N-terminal helix-turn-helix ...

Bioenergetics of methanogenesis from acetate by Methanosarcina barkeri [PDF]
Methane formation from acetate by resting cells of Methanosarcina barkeri was accompanied by an increase in the intracellular ATP content from 0.9 to 4.0 nmol/mg of protein. Correspondingly, the proton motive force increased to a steady-state level of -120 mV.

Moorella thermoacetica is the model organism for elucidation of acetogenesis. The reduction of CO2 to acetate is well studied, but how redox carrier balancing and energy conservation are maintained during autotrophic growth and how H2 is oxidised remains enigmatic.

Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) has been recognized as an alternative to interspecies H2 transfer as a mechanism for syntrophic growth, but previous studies on DIET with defined co-cultures have only documented DIET with ethanol as the ...

This work reviewed the direct and indirect effects of fires on microbial communities and the resilience strategies microbes use to withstand high temperatures . ABSTRACT Fire, whether occurring on the surface or underground, significantly influences soil microbial dynamics by reshaping community composition, functional diversity and overall soil and ...

Acetate kinase (ACK), which catalyzes the reversible phosphorylation of acetate by ATP, is a member of the acetate and sugar kinase/heat shock cognate/actin (ASKHA) superfamily. ASKHA family members share a common core fold that includes an ATPase domain

We tested whether anaerobic digesters could operate at lower temperatures without losing methane production. Pilot‐scale reactors were run at 48°C or 55°C. Methane yields and gas quality were similar. Lower temperatures reduced volatile fatty acids and supported more diverse microbial communities.

Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is ubiquitous across all forms of life, but the study of its metabolism has been mainly confined to bacteria and yeasts.
