A Membrane-Bound Cytochrome Enables Methanosarcina acetivorans To Conserve Energy from Extracellular Electron Transfer.
Dawn E. Holmes,Dawn E. Holmes,Toshiyuki Ueki,Hai-Yan Tang,Hai-Yan Tang,Jinjie Zhou,Jinjie Zhou,Jessica A. Smith,Jessica A. Smith,Gina Chaput,Derek R. Lovley +10 more
TL;DR: These studies with Methanosarcina acetivorans provide the first genetic evidence for cytochrome-based extracellular electron transfer in Archaea, and suggest parallels with Gram-negative bacteria, such as Shewanella and Geobacter species, in which multiheme outer-surface c-type cytochromes are an essential component for electrical communication with the ext racellular environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-time series RNA-seq analysis of Enterobacter lignolyticus SCF1 during growth in lignin-amended medium.
Roberto Orellana,Gina Chaput,Lye Meng Markillie,Hugh D. Mitchell,Matt Gaffrey,Galya Orr,Kristen M. DeAngelis +6 more
TL;DR: Enterobacter lignolyticus SCF1 is a facultative anaerobic Gammaproteobacteria isolated from tropical rain forest soil collected in El Yunque forest, Puerto Rico under anoxic growth conditions with lignin as sole carbon source and the association of hydrogen production by way of the formate hydrogenlyase complex with lIGNin degradation suggests a possible value added to lign in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lignin induced iron reduction by novel sp., Tolumonas lignolytic BRL6-1
Gina Chaput,Andrew F. Billings,Lani DeDiego,Roberto Orellana,Joshua N. Adkins,Carrie D. Nicora,Young-Mo Kim,Rosalie K. Chu,Blake A. Simmons,Kristen M. DeAngelis +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that BRL6-1 is using a protein in the radical SAM superfamily to interact with the Fe(III) bound to lignin and reducing it to Fe(II) for cellular use, increasing BRL 6-1 yield under lignIn-amended conditions.
Bacterial biotransformation of lignin in anoxic environments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a list of tables and FIGURES of famous figures. But they do not discuss the relationship between the two categories of figures. And the list is incomplete.

A Membrane-Bound Cytochrome Enables Methanosarcina acetivorans to Conserve Energy to Support Growth from Extracellular Electron Transfer
Dawn E. Holmes,Dawn E. Holmes,Toshiyuki Ueki,Hai-Yan Tang,Hai-Yan Tang,Jinjie Zhou,Jinjie Zhou,Jessica A. Smith,Jessica A. Smith,Gina Chaput,Derek R. Lovley +10 more
TL;DR: The studies with Methanosarcina acetivorans provide the first genetic evidence supporting the hypothesis that outer-surface c-type cytochromes are an essential component for electrical communication with the extracellular environment in Gram-negative bacteria.
