Electron transport in acetate-grown
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 ...

Shewanella oneidensis and Methanosarcina barkerii augmentation and conductive material effects on long-term anaerobic digestion performance [PDF]
This study explores the use of conductive material in scaling up anaerobic digestion for enhanced biogas production. Focusing on Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer (DIET), the research employs a syntrophic DIET-able consortium formed by Shewanella ...

Differences in Hydrogenase Gene Expression between Methanosarcina acetivorans and Methanosarcina barkeri [PDF]
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]
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 ...

Taxonomy and Halotolerance of Mesophilic Methanosarcina Strains, Assignment of Strains to Species, and Synonymy of Methanosarcina mazei and Methanosarcina frisia [PDF]
We examined 22 previously described and newly isolated Methanosarcina strains by performing denaturing gel electrophoresis of whole-cell proteins and assigned these strains to previously described species. Methanosarcina mazei S-6T (T = type strain) and Methanosarcina frisia C 16T were very similar in terms of the electrophoresis patterns of their ...

Characterization of Methanosarcina barkeri MST and 227, Methanosarcina mazei S-6T, and Methanosarcina vacuolata Z-761T [PDF]
Members of the genus Methanosarcina are recognized as major aceticlastic methanogens, and several species which thrive in low-salt, pH-neutral culture medium at mesophilic temperatures have been described. However, the environmental conditions which support the fastest growth of these species (Methanosarcina barkeri MST [T = type strain] and 227 ...

Transfer of Methanococcus frisius to the Genus Methanosarcina as Methanosarcina frisia comb. nov. [PDF]
Several methanogenic bacteria that utilize methanol, acetate, or methylamines have been isolated from marine habitats, including Methanococcus frisius. However, the 1984 description by Mah and Kuhn of the genus Methanococcus excludes methylotrophic methanebacteria such as Methanococcus frisius.

Acetate assimilation pathway of Methanosarcina barkeri [PDF]
The pathway of acetate assimilation in Methanosarcina barkeri was determined from analysis of the position of label in alanine, aspartate, and glutamate formed in cells grown in the presence of [14C]acetate and by measurement of enzyme activities in cell extracts.

Performance and genome-centric metagenomics of thermophilic single and two-stage anaerobic digesters treating cheese wastes [PDF]
The present research is the first comprehensive study regarding the thermophilic anaerobic degradation of cheese wastewater, which combines the evaluation of different reactor configurations (i.e. single and two-stage continuous stirred tank reactors) on
