2,4,6-trinitrotoluene reduction by an Fe-only hydrogenase in Clostridium acetobutylicum.
The role of hydrogenase on the reduction of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in Clostridium acetobutylicum was evaluated. An Fe-only hydrogenase was isolated and identified by using TNT reduction activity as the selection basis. The formation of hydroxylamino intermediates by the purified enzyme corresponded to expected products for this reaction, and saturation kinetics were determined with a K(m) ...
متن کامل2,4,6-trinitrotoluene reduction by carbon monoxide dehydrogenase from Clostridium thermoaceticum.
Purified CO dehydrogenase (CODH) from Clostridium thermoaceticum catalyzed the transformation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). The intermediates and reduced products of TNT transformation were separated and appear to be identical to the compounds formed by C. acetobutylicum, namely, 2-hydroxylamino-4,6-dinitrotoluene (2HA46DNT), 4-hydroxylamino-2,6-dinitrotoluene (4HA26DNT), 2, 4-dihydroxylamino...
متن کاملU(VI) reduction by spores of Clostridium acetobutylicum.
Vegetative cells of Clostridium acetobutylicum are known to reduce hexavalent uranium (U(VI)). We investigated the ability of spores of this organism to drive the same reaction. We found that spores were able to remove U(VI) from solution when H(2) was provided as an electron donor and to form a U(IV) precipitate. We tested several environmental conditions and found that spent vegetative cell g...
متن کاملBacteriocin production by Clostridium acetobutylicum in an industrial fermentation process.
High titers of a noninducible bacteriocin were produced by Clostridium acetobutylicum in a molasses fermentation medium used for the industrial production of solvents. Release of the bacteriocin towards the end of the exponential growth phase was accompanied by lysis of the culture and inhibition of the production of solvents. The producer cells were sensitive to the bacteriocin, which only aff...
متن کاملA multisubunit membrane-bound [NiFe] hydrogenase and an NADH-dependent Fe-only hydrogenase in the fermenting bacterium Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis.
Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis is a thermophilic Gram-positive bacterium able to dispose of the reducing equivalents generated during the fermentation of glucose to acetate and CO(2) by reducing H(+) to H(2). A unique combination of hydrogenases, a ferredoxin-dependent [NiFe] hydrogenase and an NADH-dependent Fe-only hydrogenase, were found to be responsible for H(2) formation in this organis...
