Structural and functional characterization of a metagenomically derived γ‐type carbonic anhydrase and its engineering into a hyperthermostable esterase

Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract The 16S microbial community profiling of a metagenomics library from geothermal spring at Lisvori (Lesvos island, Greece) enabled the identification of a putative sequence exhibiting 95% identity to the γ‐type carbonic anhydrase (γ‐CA) from Caloramator australicus (γ‐CaCA).

A biochemical framework for anaerobic oxidation of methane driven by Fe(III)-dependent respiration

Nature Communications, 2018
The unavailability of pure cultures has prevented a mechanistic understanding of anaerobic methanotrophy. Here the authors report a biochemical investigation of Methanosarcina acetivorans that supports a pathway anchored by Fe(III)-dependent mechanisms ...

Bioenergetics of methanogenesis from acetate by Methanosarcina barkeri [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1988
Methane formation from acetate by resting cells of Methanosarcina barkeri was accompanied by an increase in the intracellular ATP content from 0.9 to 4.0 nmol/mg of protein. Correspondingly, the proton motive force increased to a steady-state level of -120 mV.

Expanding the Diet for DIET: Electron Donors Supporting Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer (DIET) in Defined Co-Cultures

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) has been recognized as an alternative to interspecies H2 transfer as a mechanism for syntrophic growth, but previous studies on DIET with defined co-cultures have only documented DIET with ethanol as the ...

Spatial Heterogeneity in Methane Biogeochemistry and Prokaryotic Community Structure in Sub‐Arctic Waterbodies in Northern Canada

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 12, December 2025.
Prokaryotic communities and methane dynamics differed markedly across 16 sub‐Arctic waterbodies. Maximum depth and permafrost thaw emerged as key drivers, with non‐stratified thaw‐affected sites hosting distinct communities and elevated methane fluxes, highlighting their potential role as emerging hotspots of methane emissions.

Metagenomic Insights Into the Ecology, Taxonomy and Metabolic Capabilities of ‘Candidatus Darwinibacteriales’ Ord. Nov. (Formerly MBA03), a Potential Key Player in Anaerobic Digestion

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 12, December 2025.
Metagenomic analysis of anaerobic digesters revealed a dominant, uncultured bacterial taxon—MBA03—now proposed as ‘Candidatus Darwinibacteriales’ ord. nov. This newly defined order includes potential syntrophic acetate‐oxidising bacteria (SAOB), suggesting a key role in methane production.

The Role of Active Site Residues in ATP Binding and Catalysis in the Methanosarcina thermophila Acetate Kinase

Life, 2015
Acetate kinase (ACK), which catalyzes the reversible phosphorylation of acetate by ATP, is a member of the acetate and sugar kinase/heat shock cognate/actin (ASKHA) superfamily. ASKHA family members share a common core fold that includes an ATPase domain
