Journal ArticleDOI
A genomic view on syntrophic versus non-syntrophic lifestyle in anaerobic fatty acid degrading communities.
Petra Worm,Jasper J. Koehorst,Michael Visser,Vicente T. Sedano-Núñez,Peter J. Schaap,Caroline M. Plugge,Diana Z. Sousa,Alfons J. M. Stams +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study from a genome perspective why some micro-organisms are able to grow in syntrophy with methanogens and others are not, and identify two domains with a currently unknown function seem to be associated with the ability of syntrophic growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome analysis of Desulfotomaculum kuznetsovii strain 17T reveals a physiological similarity with Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum strain SIT.
Michael Visser,Petra Worm,Gerard Muyzer,Inês A. C. Pereira,Peter J. Schaap,Caroline M. Plugge,Jan Kuever,Sofiya N. Parshina,Tamara N. Nazina,A. E. Ivanova,Rizlan Bernier-Latmani,Lynne Goodwin,Lynne Goodwin,Nikos C. Kyrpides,Tanja Woyke,Patrick S. G. Chain,Patrick S. G. Chain,Karen W. Davenport,Karen W. Davenport,Stefan Spring,Hans-Peter Klenk,Alfons J. M. Stams,Alfons J. M. Stams +22 more
TL;DR: The Desulfotomaculum kuznetsovii is a moderately thermophilic member of the polyphyletic spore-forming genus Peptococcaceae as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of expression and secretion of galectin-3 in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells.
Caroline M.W. van Stijn,Marloes van den Broek,Robert van de Weerd,Michael Visser,Ismayil Taşdelen,Boris Tefsen,Irma van Die +6 more
TL;DR: Gal-3 expression in iDCs is restricted, and Gal-3 protein is localized mainly intracellular, due to the opposite actions of IL-4 and GM-CSF, which may help the DCs be protected against Gal- 3 induced phosphatidylserine exposure and/or apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The deep-subsurface sulfate reducer Desulfotomaculum kuznetsovii employs two methanol-degrading pathways.
Diana Z. Sousa,Michael Visser,Antonie H. van Gelder,Sjef Boeren,Mervin Pieterse,Martijn W. H. Pinkse,Peter D. E. M. Verhaert,Carsten Vogt,Steffi Franke,Steffen Kümmel,Alfons J. M. Stams,Alfons J. M. Stams +11 more
TL;DR: Proteomics and stable isotope fractionation are used to show that a thermophilic sulfate-reducing bacterium, isolated from the deep subsurface, uses both pathways of methanol conversion, the first report of a microorganism utilizing two distinct methanl conversion pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This species is of interest because it represents one of the few sulfate-reducing bacteria that have been isolated from the rumen and was sequenced as part of the DOE Joint Genome Institute Community Sequencing Program 2009.
