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 ...

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.

Wood-Ljungdahl pathway utilisation during in situ H2 biomethanation [PDF]
Biogas production from organic waste is a waste-to-energy technology with the potential to contribute significantly to sustainable energy production. Upgrading of biogas using in situ biomethanation with hydrogen has the potential for surplus electricity

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.

Microbial Electrosynthesis Reshapes Energy Metabolism and Physiology in Clostridium ljungdahlii. [PDF]
Microbial electrosynthesis drives Clostridium ljungdahlii into a distinct stress‐associated physiological state, different from gas fermentation. Comparative multi‐omics and electron microscopy reveal physiological constraints that help explain the poor performance of MES.

Advancing the Resolution of the Sulfur Compound Disproportionation Puzzle in Dissulfuribacter Thermophilus S69ᵀ Through Quantitative Label-Free Comparative Proteomics. [PDF]
To date, only three microorganisms have been functionally characterised for sulfur disproportionation. Our work identifies a fourth example and provides novel proteomic insights into its underlying pathways. These findings advance our understanding of microbial sulfur catabolism and highlight the ecological role of D.

Defining Genomic and Predicted Metabolic Features of the Acetobacterium Genus
Acetogens are anaerobic bacteria capable of fixing CO2 or CO to produce acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and ultimately acetate using the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway (WLP).
