Carbon nanotubes accelerate methane production in pure cultures of methanogens and in a syntrophic coculture [PDF]

, 2017
Carbon materials have been reported to facilitate direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between bacteria and methanogens improving methane production in anaerobic processes. In this work, the effect of increasing concentrations of carbon nanotubes

Biofilm formation of mucosa-associated methanoarchaeal strains

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Although in nature most microorganisms are known to occur predominantly in consortia or biofilms, data on archaeal biofilm formation are in general scarce.

Label-Free Raman Microspectroscopy for Identifying Prokaryotic Virocells

mSystems, 2022
Raman microspectroscopy has been used to thoroughly assess growth dynamics and heterogeneity of prokaryotic cells, yet little is known about how the chemistry of individual cells changes during infection with virulent viruses, resulting in so-called ...

The enrichment of an alkaliphilic biofilm consortia capable of the anaerobic degradation of isosaccharinic acid from cellulosic materials incubated within an anthropogenic, hyperalkaline environment. [PDF]

, 2015
Anthropogenic hyper-alkaline sites provide an environment that is analogous to proposed cementitious geological disposal facilities (GDF) for radioactive waste.

A Genetically Encoded Homocysteine Precursor to Probe Protein Active Sites and to Addict Escherichia coli to a Noncanonical Amino Acid Directly Involved in Catalysis

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 36, September 1, 2025.
A new genetically encoded amino acid is chemically converted into homocysteine (Hcy) under mild conditions to probe and to activate protein active sites. Surprisingly, Hcy can replace cysteine or serine residues in several enzymes. Its potential for a widespread use in proteins is further underlined by rendering Escherichia coli dependent on Hcy ...

Genetic Code Expansion System for Tight Control of Gene Expression in Bombyx mori Cell Lines

Insects, 2021
Inducible gene expression systems are important tools for studying gene function and to control protein synthesis. With the completion of the detailed map of the silkworm (Bombyx mori) genome, the study of Bombyx mori has entered the post-genome era ...

Isolation and characterization of a novel methanogen Methanosarcina hadiensis sp. nov. from subsurface Boom Clay pore water. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
We isolated a novel methanogenic archaeon, Methanosarcina hadiensis sp. nov. (TD41E1‐1), from Boom Clay pore water at a depth of 225 m. It exhibits unique characteristics compared to previously characterized Methanosarcina species, such as the inability to perform acetoclastic methanogenesis and the presence of extensive surface appendages.

Production of the Sesquiterpene Bisabolene From One- and Two-Carbon Compounds in Engineered Methanosarcina acetivorans. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
Despite the versatile metabolic capacities of methanogenic archaea, they are currently only employed in biotechnology for their methane generating ability. We engineered Methanosarcina acetivorans to produce the sesquiterpene bisabolene from Abies grandis from methanol or from carbon monoxide.

A genome phylogeny for mitochondria among alpha-proteobacteria and a predominantly eubacterial ancestry of yeast nuclear genes [PDF]

, 2004
Analyses of 55 individual and 31 concatenated protein data sets encoded in Reclinomonas americana and Marchantia polymorpha mitochondrial genomes revealed that current methods for constructing phylogenetic trees are insufficiently sensitive (or artifact ...
