Journal ArticleDOI
Energy metabolism and biosynthesis of Vibrio succinogenes growing with nitrate or nitrite as terminal electron acceptor
TL;DR: Growth of Vibrio succinogenes with nitrate as terminal electron acceptor was found to be a function of the following two catabolic reactions: $$HCO _2^ - + NO - + H^ + \to CO_2 + NO _2 + H_2 O$$
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning and characterization of the methyl coenzyme M reductase genes from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum.
TL;DR: The genes coding for methyl coenzyme M reductase were cloned from a genomic library of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum Marburg into Escherichia coli by using plasmid expression vectors, yielding polypeptides identical to the three known subunits of the isolated enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methyl-coenzyme-M reductase from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum (strain Marburg). Purity, activity and novel inhibitors.

TL;DR: Under appropriate conditions the enzyme was found to catalyze the reduction of methyl-CoM with 7-mercaptoheptanoylthreonine phosphate (H-S-HTP) to CH4 at a specific rate of 2.5 mumol, which contradicts a recent report that methyl- CoM reductase is only active when some contaminating proteins are present.

Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative analysis of genes encoding methyl coenzyme M reductase in methanogenic bacteria.
TL;DR: The sequence of the gene cluster encoding the methyl coenzyme M reductase (MCR) in Methanococcus voltae was determined and conserved hydrophobic sequences found in the α and β subunits are discussed with respect to the membrane association of the enzyme.
