Genome-scale metabolic reconstruction and hypothesis testing in the methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina acetivorans C2A.
Methanosarcina acetivorans strain C2A is a marine methanogenic archaeon notable for its substrate utilization, genetic tractability, and novel energy conservation mechanisms. To help probe the phenotypic implications of this organism's unique metabolism, we have constructed and manually curated a genome-scale metabolic model of M. acetivorans, iMB745, which accounts for 745 of the 4,540 predict...
متن کاملActivation of Methanogenesis by Cadmium in the Marine Archaeon Methanosarcina acetivorans
Methanosarcina acetivorans was cultured in the presence of CdCl(2) to determine the metal effect on cell growth and biogas production. With methanol as substrate, cell growth and methane synthesis were not altered by cadmium, whereas with acetate, cadmium slightly increased both, growth and methane rate synthesis. In cultures metabolically active, incubations for short-term (minutes) with 10 µM...
متن کاملCharacterization of the RnfB and RnfG Subunits of the Rnf Complex from the Archaeon Methanosarcina acetivorans
Rnf complexes are redox-driven ion pumps identified in diverse species from the domains Bacteria and Archaea, biochemical characterizations of which are reported for two species from the domain Bacteria. Here, we present characterizations of the redox-active subunits RnfG and RnfB from the Rnf complex of Methanosarcina acetivorans, an acetate-utilizing methane-producing species from the domain ...
متن کاملGeoglobus acetivorans sp. nov., an iron(III)-reducing archaeon from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent.
A hyperthermophilic, anaerobic, dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing, facultatively chemolithoautotrophic archaeon (strain SBH6(T)) was isolated from a hydrothermal sample collected from the deepest of the known World Ocean hydrothermal fields, Ashadze field (1 degrees 58' 21'' N 4 degrees 51' 47'' W) on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, at a depth of 4100 m. The strain was enriched using acetate as the electr...
متن کاملRole of the fused corrinoid/methyl transfer protein CmtA during CO-dependent growth of Methanosarcina acetivorans.
The genome of Methanosarcina acetivorans encodes three homologs, initially annotated as hypothetical fused corrinoid/methyl transfer proteins, which are highly elevated in CO-grown cells versus cells grown with alternate substrates. Based only on phenotypic analyses of deletion mutants, it was previously concluded that the homologs are strictly dimethylsulfide:coenzyme M (CoM) methyltransferase...
