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 ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Methanosaeta harundinacea and Methanosarcina barkeri, known as classic acetoclastic methanogens, are capable of directly accepting electrons from Geobacter metallireducens for the reduction of carbon dioxide to methane, having been revealed as direct ...

Cometabolism of ferrihydrite reduction and methyl-dismutating methanogenesis by Methanosarcina mazei [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyRecent discoveries have shown that some Methanosarcina species can reduce Fe(III), reshaping our understanding of Methanosarcina ecophysiology. However, the specific minerals reduced, the products formed, and the underlying metabolic mechanisms remain ...

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 ...

Putative Extracellular Electron Transfer in Methanogenic Archaea
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 It has been suggested that a few methanogens are capable of extracellular electron transfers. For instance, Methanosarcina barkeri can directly capture electrons from the coexisting microbial cells of other species.

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.

NOTES: Transfer of Methanolobus siciliae to the Genus Methanosarcina, Naming It Methanosarcina siciliae, and Emendation of the Genus Methanosarcina [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1994 A sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA of Methanolobus siciliae T4/M(T) (T = type strain) showed that this strain is closely related to members of the genus Methanosarcina, especially Methanosarcina acetivorans C2A(T). Methanolobus siciliae T4/M(T) and HI350 were morphologically more similar to members of the genus Methanosarcina than to members of the ...
