Journal ArticleDOI
Electrosynthesis of Organic Compounds from Carbon Dioxide Is Catalyzed by a Diversity of Acetogenic Microorganisms
Kelly P. Nevin,Sarah A. Hensley,Ashley E. Franks,Zarath M. Summers,Jianhong Ou,Trevor L. Woodard,Oona Snoeyenbos-West,Derek R. Lovley +7 more
TL;DR: The known range of microorganisms capable of electrosynthesis is expanded, providing multiple options for the further optimization of this process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermococcus paralvinellae sp. nov. and Thermococcus cleftensis sp. nov. of hyperthermophilic heterotrophs from deep-sea hydrothermal vents
TL;DR: Two heterotrophic hyperthermophilic strains were isolated from Paralvinella sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quite the appetite: juvenile island apple snails (Pomacea insularum) survive consuming only exotic invasive plants
TL;DR: The study suggests that available resources offered by a community of exotic invasive plants may sustain snail survival, with early juveniles exhibiting relatively larger gains in size over the 6-week period, and both size classes of snails grew substantially.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogen Production and Enzyme Activities in the Hyperthermophile Thermococcus paralvinellae Grown on Maltose, Tryptone, and Agricultural Waste
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the potential of at least some Thermococcus species to produce H2 if protein and α-glucosides are present as substrates and methyl viologen-dependent membrane hydrogenase activity remained constant across all media types.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complete genome sequence of hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus sp. ES1.
Jong-Hyun Jung,Jong-Hyun Jung,You-Tae Kim,Eun-Jung Jeon,Dong-Ho Seo,Sarah A. Hensley,James F. Holden,Ju-Hoon Lee,Cheon-Seok Park +8 more
TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of this strain is presented with a focus on its substrate utilization and metabolite production capabilities and will contribute to the development of heterotrophic archaea for bioenergy production and biogeochemical modeling in hydrothermal environments.
