Analysis of the core genome and pan-genome of autotrophic acetogenic bacteria [PDF]
Acetogens are obligate anaerobic bacteria capable of reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) to multicarbon compounds coupled to the oxidation of inorganic substrates, such as hydrogen (H2) or carbon monoxide (CO), via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway.

Chemoorganoautotrophic lifestyle of the anaerobic enrichment culture N47 growing on naphthalene
In almost all respiratory organisms, organic substrates are degraded via catabolic processes to the central metabolite acetyl-CoA which is then oxidized to CO2 for energy metabolism or used as a building block for anabolism.

Incomplete Wood-Ljungdahl pathway facilitates one-carbon metabolism in organohalide-respiring Dehalococcoides mccartyi. [PDF]
The acetyl-CoA "Wood-Ljungdahl" pathway couples the folate-mediated one-carbon (C1) metabolism to either CO2 reduction or acetate oxidation via acetyl-CoA.

Insight into the function and evolution of the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway in Actinobacteria. [PDF]
Carbon fixation by chemoautotrophic microbes such as homoacetogens had a major impact on the transition from the inorganic to the organic world. Recent reports have shown the presence of genes for key enzymes associated with the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway ...

Genomic Insights into Syntrophic Lifestyle of 'Candidatus Contubernalis alkaliaceticus' Based on the Reversed Wood-Ljungdahl Pathway and Mechanism of Direct Electron Transfer. [PDF]
The anaerobic oxidation of fatty acids and alcohols occurs near the thermodynamic limit of life. This process is driven by syntrophic bacteria that oxidize fatty acids and/or alcohols, their syntrophic partners that consume the products of this oxidation,

Methanol Metabolism in the Cytochrome and Menaquinone-Containing Acetogen Moorella thermoacetica. [PDF]
The thermophilic acetogenic bacterium Moorella thermoacetica is a promising platform organism to convert C1 compounds to valuable products. Gaseous C1 substrates are technically difficult to use for fermentation in an industrial scale, but methanol, which can be produced chemically from carbon dioxide, is a suitable alternative.
