Snapshots of acetyl-CoA synthesis, the final step of CO 2 fixation in the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway [PDF]
ABSTRACT In the ancient microbial Wood-Ljungdahl pathway, CO 2 is fixed in a multi-step process ending with acetyl-CoA synthesis at the bifunctional carbon monoxide dehydrogenase/acetyl-CoA synthase complex (CODH/ACS).

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.

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

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).

The strict anaerobe Clostridium ljungdahlii can ferment CO or H2/CO2 via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway to acetate, ethanol, and 2,3‐butanediol. This ability has attracted considerable interest, since it can be used for syngas fermentation to produce ...

Reconstruction of the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway in Terrisporobacter.
A: Genome-based reconstruction of the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway for the three type strains of the Terrisporobacter genus. Genome locus tags (black) of the catalyzing enzymes (red) and the required genes (blue) are shown for the three type strains of the ...
