Preferential reduction of FeIII over fumarate by Geobacter sulfurreducens.
The presence of Fe(III), but not that of Fe(II), resulted in ca. 20-fold-lower levels of mRNA for fumarate reductase, inhibiting fumarate reduction and favoring utilization of fumarate as an electron donor in chemostat cultures of Geobacter sulfurreducens, despite the fact that growth yield with fumarate was 3-fold higher than with Fe(III).
متن کاملAnaerobic benzene oxidation by Geobacter species.
The abundance of Geobacter species in contaminated aquifers in which benzene is anaerobically degraded has led to the suggestion that some Geobacter species might be capable of anaerobic benzene degradation, but this has never been documented. A strain of Geobacter, designated strain Ben, was isolated from sediments from the Fe(III)-reducing zone of a petroleum-contaminated aquifer in which the...
متن کاملPhenol degradation in the strictly anaerobic iron-reducing bacterium Geobacter metallireducens GS-15.
Information on anaerobic phenol metabolism by physiological groups of bacteria other than nitrate reducers is scarce. We investigated phenol degradation in the strictly anaerobic iron-reducing deltaproteobacterium Geobacter metallireducens GS-15 using metabolite, transcriptome, proteome, and enzyme analyses. The results showed that the initial steps of phenol degradation are accomplished by phe...
متن کاملAnaerobic benzene oxidation via phenol in Geobacter metallireducens.
Anaerobic activation of benzene is expected to represent a novel biochemistry of environmental significance. Therefore, benzene metabolism was investigated in Geobacter metallireducens, the only genetically tractable organism known to anaerobically degrade benzene. Trace amounts (<0.5 μM) of phenol accumulated in cultures of Geobacter metallireducens anaerobically oxidizing benzene to carbon di...
متن کاملGene clusters involved in anaerobic benzoate degradation of Geobacter metallireducens.
The degradation of aromatic compounds follows different biochemical principles in aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms. While aerobes dearomatize and cleave the aromatic ring by oxygenases, facultative anaerobes utilize an ATP-dependent ring reductase for the dearomatization of the activated key intermediate benzoyl-coenzyme A (CoA). In this work, the aromatic metabolism was studied in the obli...
