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.

Incomplete Wood-Ljungdahl pathway facilitates one-carbon metabolism in organohalide-respiring Dehalococcoides mccartyi. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014 The acetyl-CoA "Wood-Ljungdahl" pathway couples the folate-mediated one-carbon (C1) metabolism to either CO2 reduction or acetate oxidation via acetyl-CoA.

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.
