Journal ArticleDOI

Growth and energy conservation in batch cultures of Pyrococcus furiosus.

TL;DR: The data suggested that the pathway for conversion of the disaccharides is essentially the same, and the calculated YATP values were different for the various pH2 conditions, suggesting that an additional energy conserving site may be present in the pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toxicity of long chain fatty acids towards acetate conversion by Methanosaeta concilii and Methanosarcina mazei.

TL;DR: This study indicates that M. concilii and M. mazei tolerate LCFA concentrations similar to those previously described for hydrogenotrophic methanogens, which might contribute to the observed prevalence of Methanosaeta species in anaerobic bioreactors used to treat LCFA‐rich wastewater.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selenomonas acidaminovorans sp. nov., a versatile thermophilic proton-reducing anaerobe able to grow by decarboxylation of succinate to propionate

TL;DR: A moderately thermophilic anaerobic bacterium (strain Su883), which decarboxylated succinate to propionate, was isolated from granular methanogenic sludge and is proposed as type strain for the new species within the genus Selenomonas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutual Metabolic Interactions in Co-cultures of the Intestinal Anaerostipes rhamnosivorans With an Acetogen, Methanogen, or Pectin-Degrader Affecting Butyrate Production.

TL;DR: Enhanced butyrate formation through microbe-microbe interactions between A. rhamnosivorans and an acetogen, a methanogen or a pectin-degrader is indicated, which may be beneficial for colonic health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Purification and characterization of a chlorite dismutase from Pseudomonas chloritidismutans

TL;DR: The chlorite dismutase of Pseudomonas chloritidismutans was purified from the periplasmic fraction in one step by hydroxyapatite chromatography and the activity was drastically enhanced by kosmotropic salts, and chaotropic salts decreased the activity, in accordance with the Hofmeister series.
