Dual-RNAseq Analysis Unravels Virus-Host Interactions of MetSV and Methanosarcina mazei [PDF]

Viruses, 2022
Methanosarcina spherical virus (MetSV), infecting Methanosarcina species, encodes 22 genes, but their role in the infection process in combination with host genes has remained unknown.

Small protein mediates inhibition of ammonium transport in Methanosarcina mazei—an ancient mechanism? [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
In the past decade, small open reading frames (sORFs) coding for proteins less than 70 amino acids (aa) in length have moved into the focus of science. sORFs and the corresponding small proteins have been recently identified in all three domains of life.

Cometabolism of ferrihydrite reduction and methyl-dismutating methanogenesis by Methanosarcina mazei [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Recent discoveries have shown that some Methanosarcina species can reduce Fe(III), reshaping our understanding of Methanosarcina ecophysiology. However, the specific minerals reduced, the products formed, and the underlying metabolic mechanisms remain ...

Mining Proteomic Data to Expose Protein Modifications in Methanosarcina mazei strain Gö1 [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
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.

Uncovering the small proteome of Methanosarcina mazei using Ribo-seq and peptidomics under different nitrogen conditions [PDF]

Nature Communications
The mesophilic methanogenic archaeal model organism Methanosarcina mazei strain Gö1 is crucial for climate and environmental research due to its ability to produce methane. Here, we establish a Ribo-seq protocol for M.

2-oxoglutarate triggers assembly of active dodecameric Methanosarcina mazei glutamine synthetase [PDF]

eLife
Glutamine synthetases (GS) are central enzymes essential for the nitrogen metabolism across all domains of life. Consequently, they have been extensively studied for more than half a century.

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

Frontiers 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 ...

Carbon-dependent control of electron transfer and central carbon pathway genes for methane biosynthesis in the Archaean, Methanosarcina acetivorans strain C2A [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2010
Background The archaeon, Methanosarcina acetivorans strain C2A forms methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from a variety of one-carbon substrates and acetate. Whereas the biochemical pathways leading to methane formation are well understood, little is known
