Physical Biology of the Materials-Microorganism Interface. [PDF]

, 2018
Future solar-to-chemical production will rely upon a deep understanding of the material-microorganism interface. Hybrid technologies, which combine inorganic semiconductor light harvesters with biological catalysis to transform light, air, and water into

Diversity of Formyltetrahydrofolate Synthetases in the Guts of the Wood-Feeding Cockroach Cryptocercus punctulatus and the Omnivorous Cockroach Periplaneta americana [PDF]

, 2010
We examined the diversity of a marker gene for homoacetogens in two cockroach gut microbial communities. Formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (FTHFS or fhs) libraries prepared from a wood-feeding cockroach, Cryptocercus punctulatus, were dominated by ...

Production of biofuels from C1‐gases with Clostridium and related bacteria—Recent advances

Microbial Biotechnology, 2023
Clostridium spp. are suitable for the bioconversion of C1‐gases (e.g., CO2, CO and syngas) into different bioproducts. These products can be used as biofuels and are reviewed here, focusing on ethanol, butanol and hexanol, mainly.

Adaptation of the autotrophic acetogen Sporomusa ovata to methanol accelerates the conversion of CO₂ to organic products [PDF]

, 2015
Acetogens are efficient microbial catalysts for bioprocesses converting C1 compounds into organic products. Here, an adaptive laboratory evolution approach was implemented to adapt Sporomusa ovata for faster autotrophic metabolism and CO(2) conversion to

Genome-guided analysis of physiological and morphological traits of the fermentative acetate oxidizer Thermacetogenium phaeum

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background Thermacetogenium phaeum is a thermophilic strictly anaerobic bacterium oxidizing acetate to CO2 in syntrophic association with a methanogenic partner. It can also grow in pure culture, e.g., by fermentation of methanol to acetate.

Metaproteomics reveals methyltransferases implicated in dichloromethane and glycine betaine fermentation by ‘Candidatus Formimonas warabiya’ strain DCMF

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Dichloromethane (DCM; CH2Cl2) is a widespread pollutant with anthropogenic and natural sources. Anaerobic DCM-dechlorinating bacteria use the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway, yet dechlorination reaction mechanisms remain unclear and the enzyme(s) responsible for ...

Domestication of the novel alcohologenic acetogen Clostridium sp. AWRP: from isolation to characterization for syngas fermentation

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2019
Background Gas-fermenting acetogens have received a great deal of attention for their ability to grow on various syngas and waste gas containing carbon monoxide (CO), producing acetate as the primary metabolite. Among them, some Clostridium species, such

The compositional and evolutionary logic of metabolism

, 2012
Metabolism displays striking and robust regularities in the forms of modularity and hierarchy, whose composition may be compactly described. This renders metabolic architecture comprehensible as a system, and suggests the order in which layers of that ...
