Energy conservation in syntrophic acetate oxidation

Background: Thermacetogenium phaeum is a thermophilic strictly anaerobic bacterium oxidizing acetate to CO2 in syntrophic association with a methanogenic partner. It can also grow in pure culture, e.g., by fermentation of methanol to acetate. The key enzymes of homoacetate fermentation (Wood-Ljungdahl pathway) are used both in acetate oxidation and acetate formation. The obvious reversibility o...

The oxidation of acetate by extracts of Micrococcus lysodeikticus.

Evidence has been presented (Saz and Krampitz, 1954) which demonstrates that a-ketoglutarate and citrate are intermediates on the pathway of acetate oxidation by partially lysed cell preparations of Micrococcus lysodeikticu8. Results reported in this publication extend and further substantiate our previous findings. Despite the fact that condensing enzyme can be demonstrated in many aerobic bac...

Thermodynamic constraints on syntrophic acetate oxidation.

Syntrophic acetate oxidation coupled to hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis has been identified as a significant anaerobic pathway in high-temperature (55°C) oil fields (1, 2). In a paper on acetate production from oil under sulfate-reducing conditions, Callbeck et al. (3) took note of that observation, only to emphatically state that “syntrophic acetate oxidation coupled to hydrogenotrophic methan...

Studies on the Mechanism of Acetate Oxidation by Bacteria

The data presented in this paper indicate operation of different mechanisms for acetate oxidation by A. aerogenes, depending on the carbon source used for growth. The mechanism for citrate-grown cells appears to involve a conventional citric acid cycle, whereas acetate-grown cells appear to incorporate acetate carbon more readily via a dicarboxylic acid cycle.
