Project description:Transcriptional response of the hyperthermophilic sulfate reducing archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus VC16 to lithoautotrohpic and heterotrophic growth conditions
Project description:The metabolic versatile hyperthermophilic dissimilatory sulfate-reducing archaeon, Archaeoglobus fulgidus VC-16, both utilize carbon monoxide as energy source and is highly resistant to toxic effects of CO. This metabolic capacity was investigated by transcriptional response to growth with CO of cultures supplemented with sulfate (S-CO) or thiosulfate (T-CO), and without external electron acceptor (CO-without election acceptor ).
Project description:This study was conducted to investigate the enzymes involved in the metabolism of methanol in the sulfate reducer D. kuznetsovii in presence and absence of cobalt and vitamin B12. Protein abundance with lactate was measured as control.
Project description:Acididesulfobacillus acetoxydans is an acidophilic sulfate reducer that can dissimilatory reduce nitrate to ammonia (DNRA). However, no known nitrite reductase is encoded. This study was performed to investigate how A. acetoxydans reduces nitrate to nitrite and elucidated a novel DNRA mechanism and potential nitrosative stress resistance mechanisms in acidophiles.

Project description:Energy metabolism pathways of the sulfate-reducer Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough
Project description:The synthetic microbial community used in this study was composed of the major functional guilds (cellulolytic fermenter, sulfate reducer, hydrogenotrophic methanogen and acetoclastic methanogen) that mediate the anaerobic conversion of cellulosic biomass to CH4 and CO2 in wetland soils. The choice of a facultative sulfate-reducing bacterium (Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough) introduced metabolic versatility and enabled investigations into the community response to sulfate intrusion. The growth status of these multi-species cultures was measured over a week by daily analysis of substrate consumption and product accumulation. The quad-cultures were analyzed with metaproteomics at the end of experiment to characterize the community structure and metabolic activities.
