Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogen production by hyperthermophilic and extremely thermophilic bacteria and archaea: mechanisms for reductant disposal
Marcel R. A. Verhaart,Abraham A.M. Bielen,John van der Oost,Alfons J. M. Stams,Servé W. M. Kengen +4 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on three different mechanisms that are employed by a few model organisms, viz.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two W-containing formate dehydrogenases (CO2-reductases) involved in syntrophic propionate oxidation by Syntrophobacter fumaroxidans.
Frank A. M. de Bok,Peter-Leon Hagedoorn,Pedro J. Silva,Wilfred R. Hagen,Emile Schiltz,Kathrin Fritsche,Alfons J. M. Stams +6 more
TL;DR: Two formate dehydrogenases (CO2-reductases) (FDH-1 and FDH-2) were isolated from the syntrophic propionate-oxidizing bacterium Syntrophobacter fumaroxidans and appeared to be a heterodimer composed of a 92 +/- 3 kDa and a 33 +/- 2 kDa subunit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined carbon and hydrogen isotope fractionation investigations for elucidating benzene biodegradation pathways.
Anko Fischer,Ilka Herklotz,Steffi Herrmann,Martin Thullner,Sander A. B. Weelink,Alfons J. M. Stams,Michael Schlömann,Hans-Hermann Richnow,Carsten Vogt +8 more
TL;DR: Variations in lambda values suggest that more than one reaction mechanism exists for monohydroxylation as well as for anaerobic benzene degradation under nitrate-reducing, sulfate-red reducing, or methanogenic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of humic substances by halorespiring, sulphate-reducing and methanogenic microorganisms
Francisco J. Cervantes,Frank A. M. de Bok,Tuan Duong-Dac,Alfons J. M. Stams,Gatze Lettinga,Jim A. Field +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the ubiquity of humus reduction found in many different environments may be as a result of the increasing number of anaerobic microorganisms, which are known to be able to reduce humic substances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of bacteria involved in the biological sulfur cycle for paper mill effluent purification.
Albert J.H. Janssen,Piet N.L. Lens,Alfons J. M. Stams,Caroline M. Plugge,D. Y. Sorokin,Gerard Muyzer,Henk Dijkman,Erik van Zessen,Peter Luimes,Cees J.N. Buisman +9 more
TL;DR: The role and application of bacteria in anaerobic and aerobic sulfur transformations are described and exemplified for the treatment of a paper mill wastewater and the sludge was successfully used in investigation on sulfate reduction with carbon monoxide as the electron donor and the conversion of methanethiol.
