Selenocysteine, pyrrolysine and the unique energy metabolism of methanogenic archaea [PDF]
Methanogenic archaea are a group of strictly anaerobic microorganisms characterized by their strict dependence on the process of methanogenesis for energy conservation.

Trace elements induce predominance among methanogenic activity in anaerobic digestion
Trace elements play an essential role in all organisms due to their functions in enzyme complexes. In anaerobic digesters, control and supplementation of trace elements lead to stable and more efficient methane production processes while trace element ...

Mining Proteomic Data to Expose Protein Modifications in Methanosarcina mazei strain Gö1
Proteomic tools identify constituents of complex mixtures, often delivering long lists of identified proteins. The high-throughput methods excel at matching tandem mass spectrometry data to spectra predicted from sequence databases.

Effect of Nickel Levels on Hydrogen Partial Pressure and Methane Production in Methanogens. [PDF]
Hydrogen (H2) consumption and methane (CH4) production in pure cultures of three different methanogens were investigated during cultivation with 0, 0.2 and 4.21 μM added nickel (Ni).

Augmenting Biogas Process Modeling by Resolving Intracellular Metabolic Activity [PDF]
The process of anaerobic digestion in which waste biomass is transformed to methane by complex microbial communities has been modeled for more than 16 years by parametric gray box approaches that simplify process biology and do not resolve intracellular ...

S-layer, Surface-Accessible, and Concanavalin A Binding Proteins of Methanosarcina acetivorans and Methanosarcina mazei [PDF]
The outermost cell envelope structure of many archaea and bacteria contains a proteinaceous lattice termed the surface layer or S-layer. It is typically composed of only one or two abundant, often posttranslationally modified proteins that self-assemble to form the highly organized arrays.

Non-autotrophic methanogens dominate in anaerobic digesters
Anaerobic digesters are man-made habitats for fermentative and methanogenic microbes, and are characterized by extremely high concentrations of organics. However, little is known about how microbes adapt to such habitats.

Physiological Evidence for Isopotential Tunneling in the Electron Transport Chain of Methane-Producing Archaea [PDF]
Many, but not all, organisms use quinones to conserve energy in their electron transport chains. Fermentative bacteria and methane-producing archaea (methanogens) do not produce quinones but have devised other ways to generate ATP. Methanophenazine (MPh)

Carbon-dependent control of electron transfer and central carbon pathway genes for methane biosynthesis in the Archaean, Methanosarcina acetivorans strain C2A [PDF]
BackgroundThe archaeon, Methanosarcina acetivorans strain C2A forms methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from a variety of one-carbon substrates and acetate.
