چکیده
Carboxydothermus spp. are some of the most studied carbon monoxide-oxidizing anaerobic thermophiles. For further investigation into the carbon monoxide metabolism of Carboxydothermus spp., we report here the draft genome sequences of the hydrogenogenic carboxydotrophs Carboxydothermus pertinax (2.47 Mb; G+C content, 40.7%) and C. islandicus (2.39 Mb; G+C content, 42.0%).

Draft Genome Sequences of Two Hydrogenogenic Carboxydotrophic Bacteria, Carboxydocella sp. Strains JDF658 and ULO1, Isolated from Two Distinct Volcanic Fronts in Japan
Hydrogenogenic carboxydotrophs may provide hydrogen as primary energy for the microbial community via carbon monoxide oxidation. To investigate the genetics of carbon monoxide metabolism, we report here the draft genome sequences of the hydrogenogenic carboxydotrophs Carboxydocella sp. strains JDF658 (2.60 Mbp; G+C content, 49.2%) and ULO1 (2.70 Mbp; G+C content, 48.8%).
متن کاملElementary Flux Mode Analysis of Acetyl-CoA Pathway in Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans Z-2901
Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans is a carboxydotrophic hydrogenogenic bacterium species that produces hydrogen molecule by utilizing carbon monoxide (CO) or pyruvate as a carbon source. To investigate the underlying biochemical mechanism of hydrogen production, an elementary mode analysis of acetyl-CoA pathway was performed to determine the intermediate fluxes by combining linear programming (...
متن کاملCarboxydothermus siderophilus sp. nov., a thermophilic, hydrogenogenic, carboxydotrophic, dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing bacterium from a Kamchatka hot spring.
A novel anaerobic, thermophilic, Fe(III)-reducing, CO-utilizing bacterium, strain 1315(T), was isolated from a hot spring of Geyser Valley on the Kamchatka Peninsula. Cells of the new isolate were Gram-positive, short rods. Growth was observed at 52-70 degrees C, with an optimum at 65 degrees C, and at pH 5.5-8.5, with an optimum at pH 6.5-7.2. In the presence of Fe(III) or 9,10-anthraquinone 2...
متن کاملDetection of anaerobic carbon monoxide-oxidizing thermophiles in hydrothermal environments.
Carboxydotrophic anaerobic thermophiles have been isolated from various hydrothermal environments and are considered to be important carbon monoxide (CO) scavengers or primary producers. However, the ecological factors that influence the distribution, abundance and CO-oxidizing activities of these bacteria are poorly understood. A previous study detected the carboxydotrophic bacteria Carboxydot...
متن کاملDeep Conversion of Carbon Monoxide to Hydrogen and Formation of Acetate by the Anaerobic Thermophile Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans
Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans is a thermophilic strictly anaerobic bacterium that catalyses the water gas shift reaction, the conversion of carbon monoxide with water to molecular hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The thermodynamically favorable growth temperature, compared to existing industrial catalytic processes, makes this organism an interesting alternative for production of cheap hydrogen...
