Journal ArticleDOI
Novel energy conservation strategies and behaviour of Pelotomaculum schinkii driving syntrophic propionate catabolism.
Catalina A.P. Hidalgo-Ahumada,Masaru K. Nobu,Takashi Narihiro,Hideyuki Tamaki,Wen Tso Liu,Yoichi Kamagata,Alfons J. M. Stams,Alfons J. M. Stams,Hiroyuki Imachi,Diana Z. Sousa +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that formate may be the preferred electron carrier for P. schinkii behaviour in co-culture with Methanospirillum hungatei, and energy was conserved during formate generation through newly proposed proton-pumping formate extrusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unravelling the one-carbon metabolism of the acetogen Sporomusa strain An4 by genome and proteome analysis

TL;DR: A novel methanol degradation pathway is proposed in Sporomusa strain An4 that uses a methyltetrahydrofolate methyltransferase instead of MtaA and shows a high abundance of several methyltransferases during growth with betaine, whereas trimethylamine is one of the main end-products of betaine degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Benzene degradation coupled with chlorate reduction in a soil column study.
TL;DR: This is the first column study where benzene biodegradation at a high rate coupled with anaerobic chlorate reduction is observed, and indicates that oxygen produced during chlorate Reduction indeed is used for the activation of benzene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial selenium sulfide reduction for selenium recovery from wastewater.
Simon P.W. Hageman,R.D. van der Weijden,Alfons J. M. Stams,P. Van Cappellen,Cees J.N. Buisman +4 more
TL;DR: The results support the feasibility of the bio-reduction process using sulfur for recovering selenium from water by supporting the presence of biomolecules in crystalline SeS2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial respiration with chlorine oxyanions: diversity and physiological and biochemical properties of chlorate- and perchlorate-reducing microorganisms
Martin G. Liebensteiner,Margreet J. Oosterkamp,Margreet J. Oosterkamp,Alfons J. M. Stams,Alfons J. M. Stams +4 more
TL;DR: A broad biochemical diversity of the trait, its environmental dispersal, and the occurrence of relevant enzymes in diverse lineages may indicate early adaptations of life toward chlorine oxyanions on Earth.
