Dechlorination of Chloroform by Methanosarcina Strains [PDF]
Dehalogenation of carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and bromoform in pure cultures of Methanosarcina sp. strain DCM and Methanosarcina mazei S6 was demonstrated. The initial dechlorination product of chloroform was methylene chloride (dichloromethane), which accumulated transiently to about ...

Rejection of the Type Species Methanosarcina methanica (Approved Lists 1980), Conservation of the Genus Methanosarcina with Methanosarcina barkeri (Approved Lists 1980) as the Type Species, and Emendation of the Genus Methanosarcina: Request for an Opinion [PDF]
We request an Opinion regarding rejection of the type species Methanosarcina methanica (Approved Lists 1980) and conservation of the genus Methanosarcina with Methanosarcina barkeri (Approved Lists 1980) as the type species, and we provide an emended description of the genus Methanosarcina.

Conversion of Kepone byMethanosarcina thermophila [PDF]
Acetate-grown cultures of Methanosarcina thermophila converted uniformly labeled [14C]Kepone to polar and nonpolar products with 86% of the Kepone degraded within the first 10 days. The titanium(III) citrate-reduced CO dehydrogenase enzyme complex isolated from M. thermophila also catalyzed the conversion of Kepone to polar and nonpolar products with a

Metabolic Adaptation of Methanogens in Anaerobic Digesters Upon Trace Element Limitation
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a complex multi-stage process relying on the activity of highly diverse microbial communities including hydrolytic, acidogenic and syntrophic acetogenic bacteria as well as methanogenic archaea.

Necessity of electrically conductive pili for methanogenesis with magnetite stimulation [PDF]
Background Magnetite-mediated direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between Geobacter and Methanosarcina species is increasingly being invoked to explain magnetite stimulation of methane production in anaerobic soils and sediments.

Background Demand-driven biogas production could play an important role for future sustainable energy supply. However, feeding a biogas reactor according to energy demand may lead to organic overloading and, thus, to process failures.

Nitrogenase in the archaebacterium Methanosarcina barkeri 227 [PDF]
The discovery of nitrogen fixation in the archaebacterium Methanosarcina barkeri 227 raises questions concerning the similarity of archaebacterial nitrogenases to Mo and alternative nitrogenases in eubacteria. A scheme for achieving a 20- to 40-fold partial purification of nitrogenase components from strain 227 was developed by using protamine sulfate ...

MreA Functions in the Global Regulation of Methanogenic Pathways in
Results are presented supporting a regulatory role for the product of the MA3302 gene locus (designated MreA) previously annotated as a hypothetical protein in the methanogenic species Methanosarcina acetivorans of the domain Archaea.
