Methanol dissimilation in Desulfotomaculum kuznetsovii
The enzymes involved in methanol degradation by Desulfotomaculum kuznetsovii, a thermophilic, methanol utilizing sulfate reducer were studied. Low NAD-dependent and dye-linked alcohol dehydrogenase activities were detected with methanol in cell free extracts of D. kuznetsovii grown on methanol. However, activities with ethanol as electron donor were 10 times higher. The alcohol dehydrogenase fr...
متن کاملMethanol utilization in defined mixed cultures of thermophilic anaerobes in the presence of sulfate.
We studied thermophilic sulfate reduction with methanol as electron donor in continuous cultures. Mixed cultures of selected microorganisms were used, representing different methanol degrading pathways followed by various trophic groups of microorganisms. Our results show that direct competition for methanol between a homoacetogen, Moorella thermoautotrophica, and a sulfate reducer, Desulfotoma...
متن کاملTemperature and pressure adaptation of a sulfate reducer from the deep subsurface
Microbial life in deep marine subsurface faces increasing temperatures and hydrostatic pressure with depth. In this study, we have examined growth characteristics and temperature-related adaptation of the Desulfovibrio indonesiensis strain P23 to the in situ pressure of 30 MPa. The strain originates from the deep subsurface of the eastern flank of the Juan de Fuca Ridge (IODP Site U1301). The o...
متن کاملDesulfotomaculum spp. and related gram-positive sulfate-reducing bacteria in deep subsurface environments
Gram-positive spore-forming sulfate reducers and particularly members of the genus Desulfotomaculum are commonly found in the subsurface biosphere by culture based and molecular approaches. Due to their metabolic versatility and their ability to persist as endospores. Desulfotomaculum spp. are well-adapted for colonizing environments through a slow sedimentation process. Because of their abilit...
متن کاملGenome analysis of Desulfotomaculum kuznetsovii strain 17T reveals a physiological similarity with Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum strain SIT.
Desulfotomaculum kuznetsovii is a moderately thermophilic member of the polyphyletic spore-forming genus Desulfotomaculum in the family Peptococcaceae. This species is of interest because it originates from deep subsurface thermal mineral water at a depth of about 3,000 m. D. kuznetsovii is a rather versatile bacterium as it can grow with a large variety of organic substrates, including short-c...
