Agr Quorum Sensing influences the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway in Clostridium autoethanogenum [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Acetogenic bacteria are capable of fermenting CO2 and carbon monoxide containing waste-gases into a range of platform chemicals and fuels. Despite major advances in genetic engineering and improving these biocatalysts, several important physiological ...

Wood–Ljungdahl pathway found in novel marine Korarchaeota groups illuminates their evolutionary history [PDF]
mSystems, 2023 Korarchaeota, due to its rarity in common environments, is one of the archaeal phyla that has received the least attention from researchers. It was previously thought to consist solely of strict thermophiles.

Molecular evolution of the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway and the reductive glycine pathway in Desulfobacterota [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyCarbon fixation is a fundamental metabolic process that sustains ecosystems, yet its origins and evolutionary history remain largely unresolved. In this study, we focused on the Wood-Ljungdahl (WL) pathway, which is considered one of the most ancient ...

Single-Cell Genomics of Novel Actinobacteria With the Wood–Ljungdahl Pathway Discovered in a Serpentinizing System [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Serpentinite-hosted systems represent modern-day analogs of early Earth environments. In these systems, water-rock interactions generate highly alkaline and reducing fluids that can contain hydrogen, methane, and low-molecular-weight hydrocarbons-potent ...

Sugar-inducible promoters for manipulation of core metabolic pathways in the thermophilic acetogen Thermoanaerobacter kivui [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyAcetogenic bacteria form an essential part of the global carbon cycle and show promise for green chemicals production thanks to their energy-efficient carbon fixation via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. Energy conservation in acetogens is dependent on one of

Genome-Scale Analysis of Acetobacterium woodii Identifies Translational Regulation of Acetogenesis
mSystems, 2021 Acetogens synthesize acetyl-CoA via the CO2-fixing Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. Despite their ecological and biotechnological importance, their translational regulation of carbon and energy metabolisms remains unclear.

Four families of folate-independent methionine synthases.
PLoS Genetics, 2021 Although most organisms synthesize methionine from homocysteine and methyl folates, some have "core" methionine synthases that lack folate-binding domains and use other methyl donors.
