Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and Characterization of (Per)Chlorate Reductase from the Chlorate-Respiring Strain GR-1
TL;DR: The purification and characterization of the key enzyme of the reductive pathway, the chlorate and perchlorate reductase is described and the resemblance of the enzyme to nitrate reductases, formate dehydrogenases, and selenate reduCTase is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial population dynamics during start-up and overload conditions of anaerobic digesters treating municipal solid waste and sewage sludge.
TL;DR: Digesters with a history of poor performance tolerated a severe organic overload event better than digesters that had previously performed well, and it is hypothesized that higher levels of SPOB and SFAS and their methanogenic partners in previously unstable digesters are responsible for this behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constraints on the Biological Source(s) of the Orphan Branched Tetraether Membrane Lipids
Johan W.H. Weijers,F. Elda Panoto,J. van Bleiswijk,Stefan Schouten,Melike Balk,Alfons J. M. Stams,W.I.C. Rijpstra,J.S. Sinninghe Damsté +7 more
TL;DR: A soil profile from the Saxnäs Mosse peat bog, Sweden, has been analysed for glycerol dialkyl glycersol tetraether (GDGT) membrane lipids and 16S rRNA genes in order to constrain the source of the yet ‘orphan,’ but supposedly bacterial, branched GDGTs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteriological composition and structure of granular sludge adapted to different substrates.
J.T.C. Grotenhuis,M. Smit,Caroline M. Plugge,Y S Xu,A. A. M. van Lammeren,Alfons J. M. Stams,Alexander J. B. Zehnder +6 more
TL;DR: The bacteriological composition and ultrastructure of mesophilic granular methanogenic sludge from a large-scale Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket reactor treating wastewater from a sugar plant and of sludge granules adapted to ethanol and propionate were studied by counting different bacterial groups and by immunocytochemical methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Description of Sulfurospirillum halorespirans sp. nov., an anaerobic, tetrachloroethene-respiring bacterium, and transfer of Dehalospirillum multivorans to the genus Sulfurospirillum as Sulfurospirillum multivorans comb. nov.
Maurice L. G. C. Luijten,J. de Weert,Hauke Smidt,H.T.S. Boschker,W.M. de Vos,Gosse Schraa,Alfons J. M. Stams +6 more
TL;DR: An anaerobic, halorespiring bacterium able to reduce tetrachloroethene to cis-dichloroethne was isolated from an an aerobic soil polluted with chlorinated aliphatic compounds.
