Global responses of Methanococcus maripaludis to specific nutrient limitations and growth rate.
Continuous culture, transcriptome arrays, and measurements of cellular amino acid pools and tRNA charging levels were used to determine the response of Methanococcus maripaludis to leucine limitation. For comparison, the responses to phosphate and H2 limitations were measured as well. In addition, the effect of growth rate was determined. Leucine limitation resulted in a broad response. tRNA(Le...
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 کاملH2-Independent Growth of the Hydrogenotrophic Methanogen Methanococcus maripaludis
UNLABELLED Hydrogenotrophic methanogenic Archaea require reduced ferredoxin as an anaplerotic source of electrons for methanogenesis. H(2) oxidation by the hydrogenase Eha provides these electrons, consistent with an H(2) requirement for growth. Here we report the identification of alternative pathways of ferredoxin reduction in Methanococcus maripaludis that operate independently of Eha to sti...
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 کاملGenetics of nitrogen regulation in Methanococcus maripaludis.
We have used genetic methods in Methanococcus maripaludis to study nitrogen metabolism and its regulation. We present evidence for a "nitrogen regulon" in Methanococcus and Methanobacterium species containing genes of nitrogen metabolism that are regulated coordinately at the transcriptional level via a common repressor binding site sequence, or operator. The implied mechanism for regulation re...
