Acetogenesis from H2 plus CO2 by spirochetes from termite guts.
Pure cultures of termite gut spirochetes were obtained and were shown to catalyze the synthesis of acetate from H2 plus CO2. The 16S ribosomal DNA sequences of two strains were 98 percent similar and were affiliated with those of the genus Treponema. However, neither was closely related to any known treponeme. These findings imply an important role for spirochetes in termite nutrition, help to ...
متن کاملEvidence For SUSY From GUTS? Evidence For GUTS From SUSY!
We review the theoretical and experimental status of minimal grand unified theories (GUTS), contrasting the failure of minimal non-supersymmetric SU(5) with the success of the minimal supersymmetric SU(5) and minimal supersymmetric Flipped SU(5)× U(1) models. We show that a reasonable value for the universal soft supersymmetry-breaking gaugino mass, 45GeV < m1/2 < 1TeV, and a 1−σ range of the o...
متن کاملHydrogen-dependent oxygen reduction by homoacetogenic bacteria isolated from termite guts.
Although homoacetogenic bacteria are generally considered to be obligate anaerobes, they colonize the intestinal tracts of termites and other environments that are not entirely anoxic in space or time. In this study, we investigated how homoacetogenic bacteria isolated from the hindguts of various termites respond to the presence of molecular oxygen. All strains investigated formed growth bands...
متن کاملMicroaerophile among Diverse O 2 Consuming Bacteria from Termite Guts 2 3 Running Title: Microaerophilic Bacteria from Termites 8
9 In termite hindguts, fermentative production of acetate – a major carbon and energy 10 source for the insect – depends on efficient removal of inwardly diffusing oxygen by microbes 11 residing on and near the hindgut wall. However, little is known about the identity of these 12 organisms or the substrate(s) used to support their respiratory activity. A cultivation-based 13 approach was used t...
متن کاملDiversity and functional significance of cellulolytic microbes living in termite, pill-bug and stem-borer guts
Arthropods living on plants are able to digest plant biomass with the help of microbial flora in their guts. This study considered three arthropods from different niches - termites, pill-bugs and yellow stem-borers - and screened their guts for cellulase producing microbes. Among 42 unique cellulase-producing strains, 50% belonged to Bacillaceae, 26% belonged to Enterobacteriaceae, 17% belonged...
