Methanogenesis from acetate: a nonmethanogenic bacterium from an anaerobic acetate enrichment.
A methanogenic acetate enrichment was initiated by inoculation of an acetate-mineral salts medium with domestic anaerobic digestor sludge and maintained by weekly transfer for 2 years. The enrichment culture contained a Methanosarcina and several obligately anaerobic nonmethanogenic bacteria. These latter organisms formed varying degrees of association with the Methanosarcina, ranging from the ...
متن کاملBioenergetics 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 کاملAcetate Metabolism in the Ruminant.
Biochemists have long recognized the central role of acetate in the energy metabolism of most forms of life. But whereas for most organisms the supply of acetate, or rather its active form, acetyl coenzyme A, is almost entirely endogenous, ruminant animals have a large exogenous supply of acetate, which is produced in the rumen by microbial fermentation of ingested foodstuffs. In the ruminant, ...
متن کاملAcetate Kinase Isozymes Confer Robustness in Acetate Metabolism
Acetate kinase (ACK) (EC no: 2.7.2.1) interconverts acetyl-phosphate and acetate to either catabolize or synthesize acetyl-CoA dependent on the metabolic requirement. Among all ACK entries available in UniProt, we found that around 45% are multiple ACKs in some organisms including more than 300 species but surprisingly, little work has been done to clarify whether this has any significance. In ...
