Genetic manipulation of Methanosarcina spp. [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 The discovery of the third domain of life, the Archaea, is one of the most exciting findings of the last century. These remarkable prokaryotes are well known for their adaptations to extreme environments; however, Archaea have also conquered moderate ...

Insights into the biotechnology potential of Methanosarcina
Frontiers 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]
Biotechnology 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

Electron transport in acetate-grown
BMC Microbiology, 2011 Background Acetate is the major source of methane in nature. The majority of investigations have focused on acetotrophic methanogens for which energy-conserving electron transport is dependent on the production and consumption of H2 as an intermediate ...

Differences in Hydrogenase Gene Expression between Methanosarcina acetivorans and Methanosarcina barkeri [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2009 ABSTRACT Methanosarcina acetivorans C2A encodes three putative hydrogenases, including one cofactor F 420 -linked ( frh ) and two methanophenazine-linked ( vht ) enzymes.

Methanosarcina Spherical Virus, a Novel Archaeal Lytic Virus Targeting Methanosarcina Strains [PDF]
Journal of Virology, 2017 ABSTRACT A novel archaeal lytic virus targeting species of the genus Methanosarcina was isolated using Methanosarcina mazei strain Gö1 as the host. Due to its spherical morphology, the virus was designated Met hanosarcina s pherical

Gut archaea associated with bacteria colonization and succession during piglet weaning transitions
BMC Veterinary Research, 2022 Background Host-associated gut microbial communities are key players in shaping the fitness and health of animals. However, most current studies have focused on the gut bacteria, neglecting important gut fungal and archaeal components of these ...
