Optimizing Genetic Manipulation of Methanogens through Faster Cloning Techniques [PDF]
Methanogenesis is the biological production of methane. Only anaerobic archaea known as methanogens are capable of such a metabolic feat. They have strict living conditions and substrate sources which determine their rate of metabolism.

Methane Generation Using an Anaerobic Biodigester From Waste Leachate Water
ABSTRACT Leachate wastewater (LWW) is characterized by slow biodegradation and low biogas production due to resistant materials and limited biological activity. Therefore, applying pretreatments is essential to improving biodegradation potential, which consequently boosts energy recovery.

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

Abstract Tropical hydroelectric reservoirs are recognized hotspots for greenhouse gas emissions, yet the role of submerged forests in these emissions remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the contribution of standing dead trees and their associated epixylic biofilms to methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the ...

Abstract Biological nitrogen fixation is the process by which certain bacteria and archaea use the enzyme nitrogenase to reduce atmospheric nitrogen into bioavailable ammonium. Engineering non‐nitrogen‐fixing organisms, like plants, to use nitrogenase could reduce dependency on synthetic fertilizer and mitigate the environmental impacts of industrial ...

Methane-Linked Mechanisms of Electron Uptake from Cathodes by
The Methanosarcinales, a lineage of cytochrome-containing methanogens, have recently been proposed to participate in direct extracellular electron transfer interactions within syntrophic communities.

Tetrahydrofolat-spezifische Enzyme im Baustoffwechsel von Methanosarcina barkeri sowie die Rolle von Folsäure und p-Aminobenzoesäure als Wachstumsfaktoren in diesem Archaeon [PDF]
Tetrahydrofolat (H4F) spielt als Überträger von C1-Einheiten im Baustoffwechsel von allen Bacteria und Eucarya und von einigen Archaea eine wichtige Rolle in der Synthese von C1-Einheiten enthaltenden Verbindungen wie Purine, Thymidin und Methionin.

Toxicity of long chain fatty acids towards acetate conversion by Methanosaeta concilii and Methanosarcina mazei [PDF]
Long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) can inhibit methane production by methanogenic archaea. The effect of oleate and palmitate on pure cultures of Methanosaeta concilii and Methanosarcina mazei was assessed by comparing methane production rates from acetate ...
