CO Metabolism in the Acetogen Acetobacterium woodii.
The Wood-Ljungdahl pathway allows acetogenic bacteria to grow on a number of one-carbon substrates, such as carbon dioxide, formate, methyl groups, or even carbon monoxide. Since carbon monoxide alone or in combination with hydrogen and carbon dioxide (synthesis gas) is an increasingly important feedstock for third-generation biotechnology, we studied CO metabolism in the model acetogen Acetoba...
متن کاملNonacetogenic growth of the acetogen Acetobacterium woodii on 1,2-propanediol.
Acetogenic bacteria can grow by the oxidation of various substrates coupled to the reduction of CO2 in the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. Here, we show that growth of the acetogen Acetobacterium woodii on 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PD) as the sole carbon and energy source is independent of acetogenesis. Enzymatic measurements and metabolite analysis revealed that 1,2-PD is dehydrated to propionaldehyde, whi...
متن کاملPlasmid Transfer into the Homoacetogen Acetobacterium woodii by Electroporation and Conjugation.
Shuttle vectors (pMS3 and pMS4) which replicated in Escherichia coli and in gram-positive Acetobacterium woodii were constructed by ligating the replication origin of plasmid pAMbeta1 with the E. coli cloning vector pUC19 and the tetM gene of streptococcal transposon Tn916. Electrotransformation of A. woodii was achieved at frequencies of 4.5 x 10 transformants per mug of plasmid DNA. For conju...
متن کاملProduction and Utilization of Ethanol by the Homoacetogen Acetobacterium woodii.
Acetobacterium woodii formed ethanol as a fermentation product in addition to acetate when the phosphate concentration of the medium was between 0.2 and 8.4 mM. Considerable amounts of alanine were also found (2 to 11 mM). Supplementation with phosphate caused a shift to acetate as the only end product. Ethanol could also serve as a substrate for A. woodii. The fermentation yielded predominantl...
متن کاملRegulation of caffeate respiration in the acetogenic bacterium Acetobacterium woodii.
The anaerobic acetogenic bacterium Acetobacterium woodii can conserve energy by oxidation of various substrates coupled to either carbonate or caffeate respiration. We used a cell suspension system to study the regulation and kinetics of induction of caffeate respiration. After addition of caffeate to suspensions of fructose-grown cells, there was a lag phase of about 90 min before caffeate red...
