Recovery of an integration shuttle vector from tandem repeats in Methanococcus maripaludis.
Transformation of Methanococcus maripaludis by using an integration vector, pKAS102, is described. Selection and subsequent growth at high concentrations of puromycin caused pKAS102 to develop tandem repeats within the genome. As a result, total DNA isolated from the transformant could be used to recover the intact vector by direct transformation of competent Escherichia coli.
متن کاملHydrogenases of Methanococcus maripaludis
The methanogens catalyze a major component of the Earth’s H2 cycle. They are especially active in anaerobic environments where they are the primary consumers of fermentatively produced H2. These strictly anaerobic Archaea have evolved unique adaptations to H2 metabolism, many of which are poorly understood. Our research examines the enzymes and pathways in H2 metabolism in methanogens, especial...
متن کاملGenetics of nitrogen regulation in Methanococcus maripaludis.
We have used genetic methods in Methanococcus maripaludis to study nitrogen metabolism and its regulation. We present evidence for a "nitrogen regulon" in Methanococcus and Methanobacterium species containing genes of nitrogen metabolism that are regulated coordinately at the transcriptional level via a common repressor binding site sequence, or operator. The implied mechanism for regulation re...
متن کاملTaxis Toward Hydrogen Gas by Methanococcus maripaludis
Knowledge of taxis (directed swimming) in the Archaea is currently expanding through identification of novel receptors, effectors, and proteins involved in signal transduction to the flagellar motor. Although the ability for biological cells to sense and swim toward hydrogen gas has been hypothesized for many years, this capacity has yet to be observed and demonstrated. Here we show that the av...
متن کاملProspects for Hydrogen Production from Formate by Methanococcus maripaludis
Most methanogenic Archaea are hydrogenotrophic, specializing in the use of hydrogen to reduce CO2 to methane. Even though these organisms have multiple hydrogenases that use hydrogen, there is good potential to use them for the net production of hydrogen. This is because some species can use alternative electron donors, most notably formate, and because some species have nitrogenases that can p...
