Studies on an acetate-fermenting strain of Methanosarcina [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1978 An acetate-fermenting strain of Methanosarcina was isolated from an acetate enrichment culture inoculated with anaerobic sludge from a waste treatment digestor. In pure culture, this organism fermented acetate in the absence of added hydrogen at rates comparable in magnitude to those found in digestor systems.

Dechlorination of Chloroform by Methanosarcina Strains [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1990 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]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1984 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.

Necessity of electrically conductive pili for methanogenesis with magnetite stimulation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 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.

Phylogenetic differences in content and intensity of periodic proteins [PDF]
, 2005 Many proteins exhibit sequence periodicity, often correlated with a visible structural periodicity. The statistical significance of such periodicity can be assessed by means of a chi-square-based test, with significance thresholds being calculated from ...

Conversion of Kepone byMethanosarcina thermophila [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 1996 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
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 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.
