Ultrastructure of Methanosarcina mazei
Systematic and Applied Microbiology, 1986 Summary Thin and semi-thin sections and freeze fracture replicas of unfixed, propane jet frozen cells of the methanogenic bacterium Methanosarcina mazei were examined in normal and medium-voltage (200 KV) transmission electron microscopes. A typical unit membrane surrounds the cytoplasm.

Resonance Raman analysis of intracellular vitamin B12 analogs in methanogenic archaea
Analytical Science Advances, 2022 Methanogenic archaea (methanogens) are microorganisms that can synthesize methane. They are found in diverse environments ranging from paddy fields to animal digestive tracts to deep‐sea hydrothermal vents.

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 ...

Characterization of Methanosarcina barkeri MST and 227, Methanosarcina mazei S-6T, and Methanosarcina vacuolata Z-761T [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1991 Members of the genus Methanosarcina are recognized as major aceticlastic methanogens, and several species which thrive in low-salt, pH-neutral culture medium at mesophilic temperatures have been described. However, the environmental conditions which support the fastest growth of these species (Methanosarcina barkeri MST [T = type strain] and 227 ...

Insights into the NrpR regulon in Methanosarcina mazei Gö1
Archives of Microbiology, 2008 The methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina mazei strain Gö1 contains two homologues of NrpR, the transcriptional repressor of nitrogen assimilation genes recently discovered and characterized in Methanococcus maripaludis. Insertion of a puromycin-resistance conferring cassette into MM1085 encoding a single NrpR domain with an N-terminal helix-turn-helix ...

Immunochemistry and localization of the enzyme disaggregatase in Methanosarcina mazei [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1993 The enzyme disaggregatase (Dag) from Methanosarcina mazei was studied immunochemically. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of purified Dag under reducing and nonreducing conditions revealed a single band with a 94-kDa molecular mass.
