Insights into the genome structure of four acetogenic bacteria with specific reference to the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway [PDF]

MicrobiologyOpen, 2019
Acetogenic bacteria are obligate anaerobes with the ability of converting carbon dioxide and other one‐carbon substrates into acetate through the Wood–Ljungdahl (WL) pathway.

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 Microbiology
Carbon 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 ...

Microbial Electrosynthesis Reshapes Energy Metabolism and Physiology in Clostridium ljungdahlii. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
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.

Genomic and Transcriptomic Insights Into the Autotrophic Metabolism on H₂ + CO₂ or CO of the Thermophilic Acetogenic Model Organism Moorella thermoacetica. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
Moorella thermoacetica is the model organism for elucidation of acetogenesis. The reduction of CO2 to acetate is well studied, but how redox carrier balancing and energy conservation are maintained during autotrophic growth and how H2 is oxidised remains enigmatic.

An Idea to Explore: From How to Why: Using Evolutionary Biochemistry to Inspire Biochemistry Education. [PDF]

Biochem Mol Biol Educ
ABSTRACT Traditional biochemistry instruction often emphasizes mechanistic detail, that is, how molecules and pathways function, without equally addressing why they have their present forms. This fact‐centered approach can leave students overwhelmed and disconnected from the broader scientific narrative.

Genomic Survey of Carbon Monoxide Dehydrogenases Reveals Their Widespread Distribution in Marine Habitats. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Protein sequence surveys show that nickel‐ and molybdenum/copper‐containing carbon monoxide dehydrogenases (CODHs) are widespread in the ocean. Phylogenetic and genome context analyses reveal that marine CODHs are highly diverse in both evolutionary history and functional organisation.

Perspectives for Advancing Biotechnological Succinic Acid Production. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
Succinic acid is an important molecule for sustainable chemical manufacturing, but its industrial production faces high costs and sustainability challenges, which are linked to feedstocks and excessive acid/base consumption. This opinion explores production routes based on next‐generation feedstocks and low‐pH fermentations to inspire novel cost ...
