Bioenergetics of methanogenesis from acetate by Methanosarcina barkeri.
Methane formation from acetate by resting cells of Methanosarcina barkeri was accompanied by an increase in the intracellular ATP content from 0.9 to 4.0 nmol/mg of protein. Correspondingly, the proton motive force increased to a steady-state level of -120 mV. The transmembrane pH gradient however, was reversed under these conditions and amounted to +20 mV. The addition of the protonophore 3,5,...
متن کاملMethanogenic cleavage of acetate by lysates of Methanosarcina barkeri.
Cell lysates of acetate-grown Methanosarcina barkeri 227 were found to cleave acetate to CH4 and CO2. The aceticlastic reaction was identified by using radioactive methyl-labeled acetate. Cell lysates decarboxylated acetate in a nitrogen atmosphere, conserving the methyl group in methane. The rate of methanogenesis from acetate in the cell lysates was comparable to that observed with whole cell...
متن کاملEffect of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane on methylation of bismuth by Methanosarcina barkeri.
Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS), a common constituent of household products, triggers the transformation of bismuth to the volatile toxic derivative trimethylbismuth by Methanosarcina barkeri, which is a representative member of the sewage sludge microflora. Comparative studies with the ionophores monensin and lasalocid, which induce effects similar to those observed for OMCTS, indicated t...
متن کاملParamagnetic centers of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase from aceticlastic Methanosarcina barkeri.
Carbon monoxide dehydrogenase from Methanosarcina barkeri, purified to 95% homogeneity, contains 30 Fe, 2 Ni, 1 Zn, and 1 Cu (per alpha 2 beta 2 enzyme). Core extrusion experiments indicate 6 [4Fe-4S] clusters/tetramer, and electron paramagnetic resonance (epr) spectroscopy detects at least one of these clusters, in the reduced form, with apparent g values of 2.05, 1.94, and 1.90, and Em9.2-390...
متن کاملMethanogenesis from Choline by a Coculture of Desulfovibrio sp. and Methanosarcina barkeri.
A sulfate-reducing vibrio was isolated from a methanogenic enrichment with choline as the sole added organic substrate. This organism was identified as a member of the genus Desulfovibrio and was designated Desulfovibrio strain G1. In a defined medium devoid of sulfate, a pure culture of Desulfovibrio strain G1 fermented choline to trimethylamine, acetate, and ethanol. In the presence of sulfat...
