Novel physiological features of Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans and Thermoterrabacterium ferrireducens
TL;DR: Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans is able to grow by conversion of CO to H2 and CO2 and is closely related to Thermoterrabacterium ferrireducens, a gram-positive, thermophilic, strict anaerobic bacterium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soehngenia saccharolytica gen. nov., sp. nov. and Clostridium amygdalinum sp. nov., two novel anaerobic, benzaldehyde-converting bacteria.
Sofia N. Parshina,Robbert Kleerebezem,Jose Luis Sanz,Gatze Lettinga,Alla N. Nozhevnikova,Nadezhda A. Kostrikina,Anatoly M. Lysenko,Alfons J. M. Stams +7 more
TL;DR: Strain BR-10(T) represents a novel species of cluster XIVa of the clostridia and the name Clostridium amygdalinum is proposed for this novel species (type strain BR-T)=DSM 12857(T)=ATCC BAA-501(T)).
Journal ArticleDOI
Electricity-mediated biological hydrogen production
TL;DR: The scarce knowledge of how electricity can be used to produce hydrogen in the microbial oxidation of acetate or other substrates is reviewed and the technological design concepts and their performance are presented, and the biochemical mechanisms of electron transfer are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anaerobic Transformation of β-Hexachlorocyclohexane by Methanogenic Granular Sludge and Soil Microflora
M.H.A. Eekert,N.J.P. van Ras,G.H. Mentink,Huub H.M. Rijnaarts,Alfons J. M. Stams,Jim A. Field,Gosse Schraa +6 more
TL;DR: β- and also α-HCH present in contaminated soil were both found to be converted to chlorobenzene and benzene upon incubation of the soil under anaerobic conditions, indicating the biotic nature of the reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Daan M. van Vliet,F. A. Bastiaan von Meijenfeldt,Bas E. Dutilh,Laura Villanueva,Jaap S. Sinninghe Damsté,Alfons J. M. Stams,Alfons J. M. Stams,Irene Sánchez-Andrea +7 more
TL;DR: This review summarizes the current knowledge on sulfur-cycling bacteria in Dysoxic marine waters and highlights recent insights into the metabolism of key sulfur-oxidizing SUP05 and Sulfurimonas bacteria, and discusses the probable involvement of uncultivated SAR324 and BS-GSO2 bacteria in sulfur oxidation.
