Flux measurements and maintenance energy for carbon dioxide utilization by Methanococcus maripaludis
BACKGROUND The rapidly growing mesophilic methanogen Methanococcus maripaludis S2 has a unique ability to consume both CO2 and N2, the main components of a flue gas, and produce methane with H2 as the electron donor. The existing literature lacks experimental measurements of CO2 and H2 uptake rates and CH4 production rates on M. maripaludis. Furthermore, it lacks estimates of maintenance energi...
متن کاملTaxis Toward Hydrogen Gas by Methanococcus maripaludis
Knowledge of taxis (directed swimming) in the Archaea is currently expanding through identification of novel receptors, effectors, and proteins involved in signal transduction to the flagellar motor. Although the ability for biological cells to sense and swim toward hydrogen gas has been hypothesized for many years, this capacity has yet to be observed and demonstrated. Here we show that the av...
متن کاملHydrogenases of Methanococcus maripaludis
The methanogens catalyze a major component of the Earth’s H2 cycle. They are especially active in anaerobic environments where they are the primary consumers of fermentatively produced H2. These strictly anaerobic Archaea have evolved unique adaptations to H2 metabolism, many of which are poorly understood. Our research examines the enzymes and pathways in H2 metabolism in methanogens, especial...
متن کاملProspects for Hydrogen Production from Formate by Methanococcus maripaludis
Most methanogenic Archaea are hydrogenotrophic, specializing in the use of hydrogen to reduce CO2 to methane. Even though these organisms have multiple hydrogenases that use hydrogen, there is good potential to use them for the net production of hydrogen. This is because some species can use alternative electron donors, most notably formate, and because some species have nitrogenases that can p...
متن کاملExergy and Energy Analysis of Effective Utilization of Carbon Dioxide in the Gas-to-Methanol Process
Two process models are used to convert carbon dioxide into methanol. These processes have been extended and improved using Aspen Plus simulator software. Both processes are found in the CO2 correction system. In this machine, the desired synthesis gas is produced in a flexible configuration. At the same time, the conversion of CO2 to hydrogen via a copper-based catalyst ha...
