چکیده
Azospira suillum strain PS (formally Dechlorosoma suillum strain PS) is a metabolically versatile betaproteobacterium first identified for its ability to grow by dissimilatory reduction of perchlorate and chlorate [denoted (per)chlorate]. Together with Dechloromonas species, these two genera represent the dominant (per)chlorate-reducing bacteria in mesophilic freshwater environments. In addition to (per)chlorate reduction, A. suillum is capable of the anaerobic oxidation of humic substances and is the first anaerobic nitrate-dependent Fe(II) oxidizer outside the Diaphorobacter and Acidovorax genera for which there is a completed genome sequence.

Recent studies on the occurrence of (per)chlorate-reducing bacteria have resulted in the characterization of strains capable of dissimilatory (per)chlorate reduction. Phylogenetic analysis has shown that these bacteria are members of the Proteobacteria. Strains have been isolated from polluted and pristine sites, but only strains from polluted sites have been characterized in detail and deposit...
متن کاملGrowth and Survival of Perchlorate-reducing Bacteria in Media Containing Elevated Perchlorate Concentrations and Uv-c Conditions
Introduction: The identification of perchlorate (ClO4) on Mars [1,2] has led to the possibility that complete redox couples are available for microbial metabolism in contemporary surface environments [3]. Perchlorate-reducing bacteria (PRB) utilize ClO4 and chlorate (ClO3) as terminal electron acceptors due to the high reduction potential [3]. Additionally, ClO4 salts have been suggested as a p...
متن کاملMechanism of H2S Oxidation by the Dissimilatory Perchlorate-Reducing Microorganism Azospira suillum PS
The genetic and biochemical basis of perchlorate-dependent H2S oxidation (PSOX) was investigated in the dissimilatory perchlorate-reducing microorganism (DPRM) Azospira suillum PS (PS). Previously, it was shown that all known DPRMs innately oxidize H2S, producing elemental sulfur (So). Although the process involving PSOX is thermodynamically favorable (ΔG°' = -206 kJ ⋅ mol-1 H2S), the underlyin...
متن کاملFunctional Redundancy in Perchlorate and Nitrate Electron Transport Chains and Rewiring Respiratory Pathways to Alter Terminal Electron Acceptor Preference
Most dissimilatory perchlorate reducing bacteria (DPRB) are also capable of respiratory nitrate reduction, and preferentially utilize nitrate over perchlorate as a terminal electron acceptor. The similar domain architectures and phylogenetic relatedness of the nitrate and perchlorate respiratory complexes suggests a common evolutionary history and a potential for functionally redundant electron...
متن کاملTransposon and Deletion Mutagenesis of Genes Involved in Perchlorate Reduction in Azospira suillum PS
UNLABELLED Although much work on the biochemistry of the key enzymes of bacterial perchlorate reduction, chlorite dismutase, and perchlorate reductase has been published, understanding of the molecular mechanisms of this metabolism has been somewhat hampered by the lack of a clear model system amenable to genetic manipulation. Using transposon mutagenesis and clean deletions, genes important fo...
