Deciphering the properties and reaction mechanism of anhydromevalonate phosphate decarboxylase, a prenylated flavin mononucleotide‐dependent enzyme in the archaeal mevalonate pathway

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Characterization of anhydromevalonate phosphate decarboxylase, the UbiD‐family decarboxylase involved in the archaeal mevalonate pathway, was conducted. The enzyme is responsible for the biosynthesis of isoprenoids, such as archaeal membrane lipids, respiratory quinones, and dolichols.

Co-occurrence of Methanosarcina mazei and Geobacteraceae in an iron(III)-reducing enrichment culture

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

High-rate, High Temperature Acetotrophic Methanogenesis Governed by a Three Population Consortium in Anaerobic Bioreactors. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
A combination of acetate oxidation and acetoclastic methanogenesis has been previously identified to enable high-rate methanogenesis at high temperatures (55 to 65°C), but this capability had not been linked to any key organisms.

Genetic Encoding of a Trifunctional Photo‐Cross‐Linker with a Cleavable Alkyl Ester Moiety

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 3, February 2026.
A novel noncanonical amino acid, DiZAAsu, possessing photo‐cross‐linking, biotinylation, and alkaline‐cleavable functionalities, is genetically encoded by an engineered pyrrolyl‐tRNA synthetase mutant. The alkyl ester moiety expands the design space of cleavable photo‐cross‐linkable amino acids.

Modeling Metabolic Variability in Methanosarcina Acetivorans [PDF]

open access: yesBiophysical Journal, 2014
Anaerobic archaea M. acetivorans, a versatile salt-water adapted methanogen, is capable of converting seven different organic molecules into methane. Utilization of these substrates involves three main reaction pathways that are differentially regulated by the organism depending on growth conditions. We have developed a kinetic model for methanogenesis

Energy Conservation via Hydrogen Cycling in the Methanogenic Archaeon Methanosarcina barkeri

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Energy conservation via hydrogen cycling, which generates proton motive force by intracellular H2 production coupled to extracellular consumption, has been controversial since it was first proposed in 1981.
