Advancing the Resolution of the Sulfur Compound Disproportionation Puzzle in Dissulfuribacter Thermophilus S69ᵀ Through Quantitative Label-Free Comparative Proteomics. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepTo 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.

A deeply branching thermophilic bacterium with an ancient acetyl-CoA pathway dominates a subsurface ecosystem. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 A nearly complete genome sequence of Candidatus 'Acetothermum autotrophicum', a presently uncultivated bacterium in candidate division OP1, was revealed by metagenomic analysis of a subsurface thermophilic microbial mat community.

A Conserved Isoleucine Gates the Diffusion of CO and O2 to the Active Site of NiFe CO‐Dehydrogenase
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 44, 26 October 2026.A combination of protein film electrochemistry and site‐directed mutagenesis shows that isoleucine 563 (numbering of Thermococcus sp. AM4) gates the arrival of both CO and O2 to the active site of the nickel‐iron CO dehydrogenases. Mutations at this position increase the resistance to O2 at the cost of a slower reaction with CO.

A Synthetic Acetyl-CoA Bi-cycle Synergizes the Wood-Ljungdahl Pathway for Efficient Carbon Conversion in Syngas Fermentation [PDF]
, 2020 Abstract The Wood-Ljungdahl pathway (WLP) is a natural carbon fixation pathway capable of converting one-carbon (C1) compounds (CO2, CO, formate) to two-carbon (C2) metabolite acetyl-CoA or coordinating with canonical glycolysis to convert sugar feedstocks to acetyl-CoA with high carbon yield.

Anaerobic carbon monoxide dehydrogenase diversity in the homoacetogenic hindgut microbial communities of lower termites and the wood roach. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Anaerobic carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) is a key enzyme in the Wood-Ljungdahl (acetyl-CoA) pathway for acetogenesis performed by homoacetogenic bacteria.
