The Phylogenetic Position of Methanothrix soehngenii. Elucidated by a Modified Technique of Sequencing Oligonucleotides from 16S rRNA
TLDR
A newly isolated methanogenic archaebacterium, Methanothrix soehngenii (“acetate organism”) was characterized by oligonucleotide cataloguing of its 16S ribosomal RNA, using an improved method for sequenzing ribonuclease T1 resistant oligon nucleotides.About:

TL;DR: The phylogenetic substructure of the alpha subdivision is presented and the evolutionary significance of the admixture of biochemical phenotypes is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A phylogenetic definition of the major eubacterial taxa.
TL;DR: Through oligonucleotide signature analysis of 16S ribosomal RNAs, it is possible to define ten major groups of eubacteria that are appropriately termed eubacterial Phyla or Divisions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure, biosynthesis, and physicochemical properties of archaebacterial lipids.
TL;DR: It is considered that archaebacteria are as far from eubacteria as they are from eucaryotes, thus contributing to a better understanding of the universal ancestor.

Methanosaeta concilii gen. nov. sp. nov. ("Methanothrix concilii") and Methanosaeta thermoacetophila nom. rev., comb. nov.?
TL;DR: Cells of species in the genus Methanosaeta are obligately anaerobic, gram-negative, nonmotile rods with flat ends, enclosed within a proteinaceous, cross-striated sheath, used as the sole source of energy and carbon sources for growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gram-positive bacteria: possible photosynthetic ancestry.
TL;DR: A 16S ribosomal RNA gene has been sequenced from Heliobacterium chlorum, the recently discovered photosynthetic bacterium that contains a novel form of chlorophyll, and suggests that Gram-positive bacteria may be of photosynthesis ancestry for all eubacteria.

Methanogens: reevaluation of a unique biological group.
TL;DR: The present study focuses on the development and outline of a new treatment based on 16-year-old ribonucleic acid, as well as evidence in support of the new taxonomic treatment.

A two-dimensional fractionation procedure for radioactive nucleotides
TL;DR: High-voltage ionophoresis is used in both dimensions for the two-dimensional fractionation of ribonuclease digests of 32P-labelled RNA and the determination of the sequence of a nucleotide by partial digestion with spleen phosphodiesterase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of an acetate-decarboxylating, non-hydrogen-oxidizing methane bacterium.
TL;DR: A methanogenic bacterium, commonly seen in digested sludge and referred to as the “fat rod” or Methanobacterium soehngenii, has been enriched to a monoculture and is characterized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methanothrix soehngenii gen. nov. sp. nov., a new acetotrophic non-hydrogen-oxidizing methane bacterium
TL;DR: A new genus of methanogenic bacteria is described, which was isolated from a mesophilic sewage digester and is most probably the filamentous bacterium, earlier referred to asMethanobacterium soehngenii, “fat rod” or “acetate organism”.

Growth and Methanogenesis by Methanosarcina Strain 227 on Acetate and Methanol
Michael R. Smith,Robert A. Mah +1 more
TL;DR: Results suggested that methanogenesis from acetate, methanol, and H(2)-CO(2) may have some steps in common, as originally proposed by Barker.
