Anaerobic degradation of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) by denitrifying bacteria
Ana M. S. Paulo,Ana M. S. Paulo,Caroline M. Plugge,Pedro A. García-Encina,Alfons J. M. Stams +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, two denitrifying bacteria were isolated using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as substrate, and the two novel strains are able to grow with a variety of organic compounds, including intermediates of SDS degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perchlorate and chlorate reduction by the Crenarchaeon Aeropyrum pernix and two thermophilic Firmicutes
Martin G. Liebensteiner,Martijn W. H. Pinkse,Bart Nijsse,Peter Verhaert,Nicolas Tsesmetzis,Alfons J. M. Stams,Alfons J. M. Stams,Bart P. Lomans +7 more
TL;DR: Physiological, genomic and proteome analyses suggest that the Crenarchaeon Aeropyrum pernix reduces perchlorate with a periplasmic enzyme related to nitrate reductases, but that it lacks a functional chlorite-disproportionating enzyme (Cld) to complete the pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI
A field study on the fate of 15N-ammonium to demonstrate nitrification of atmospheric ammonium in an acid forest soil
Alfons J. M. Stams,H. W. G. Booltink,I. J. Lutke-Schipholt,B. Beemsterboer,J. R. W. Woittiez,N. van Breemen +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a field study with 13N-ammonium as tracer was performed in an oak-birch forest soil, and the results indicated that even in extremely acid forest soils (pH < 4) nitrate formation from ammonium can occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deep Conversion of Carbon Monoxide to Hydrogen and Formation of Acetate by the Anaerobic Thermophile Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans
TL;DR: The Gibbs free energy change calculated with measured end concentrations and the detection of acetate suggest that C. hydrogenoformans shifted from a hydrogenogenic to an acetogenic metabolism.
