چکیده
Buller, C. S. (University of Kansas, Lawrence), and J. M. Akagi. Hydrogenase of Coleman's sulfate-reducing bacterium. J. Bacteriol. 88:440-443. 1964.-The hydrogenase of the Coleman organism was found to be associated with the particulate fraction of cell-free extracts. This enzyme catalyzed the oxidation of molecular hydrogen in the presence of various electron acceptors. It was also able to evolve hydrogen from reduced methyl viologen and reduced ferredoxin isolated from Clostridium pasteurianum. Other electron donors such as pyruvate and formate were capable of furnishing electrons for hydrogen evolution when suitable carriers were incorporated.

Postgate, John R. (University of Illinois, Urbana) and L. Leon Campbell. Identification of Coleman's sulfate-reducing bacterium as a mesophilic relative of Clostridium nigrificans. J. Bacteriol. 86:274-279. 1963.-Coleman's sulfate-reducing bacterium is immunologically and morphologically similar to Clostridium nigrificans and unlike Desulfovibrio species. It is not thermophilic and does not acq...
متن کاملFirst evidence for the presence of a hydrogenase in the sulfur-reducing bacterium Desulfuromonas acetoxidans.
Hydrogenases, which are ubiquitous in sulfate-reducing bacteria, were previously thought to be absent from Desulfuromonas acetoxidans. For the first time, a hydrogenase from the strict anaerobic sulfur-respiring bacterium D. acetoxidans, grown on ethanol-malate, was detected and enriched. To assay the role of the hydrogenase in the energetic metabolism of D. acetoxidans, we examined the reactiv...
متن کاملFunction of periplasmic hydrogenases in the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough.
The sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough possesses four periplasmic hydrogenases to facilitate the oxidation of molecular hydrogen. These include an [Fe] hydrogenase, an [NiFeSe] hydrogenase, and two [NiFe] hydrogenases encoded by the hyd, hys, hyn1, and hyn2 genes, respectively. In order to understand their cellular functions, we have compared the growth rates of exi...
متن کاملReduction of technetium(VII) by Desulfovibrio fructosovorans is mediated by the nickel-iron hydrogenase.
Resting cells of the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio fructosovorans grown in the absence of sulfate had a very high Tc(VII)-reducing activity, which led to the formation of an insoluble black precipitate. The involvement of a periplasmic hydrogenase in Tc(VII) reduction was indicated (i) by the requirement for hydrogen as an electron donor, (ii) by the tolerance of this activity to oxy...
متن کاملEffect of hydrogenase and mixed sulfate-reducing bacterial populations on the corrosion of steel.
The importance of hydrogenase activity to corrosion of steel was assessed by using mixed populations of sulfate-reducing bacteria isolated from corroded and noncorroded oil pipelines. Biofilms which developed on the steel studs contained detectable numbers of sulfate-reducing bacteria (10 increasing to 10/0.5 cm). However, the biofilm with active hydrogenase activity (i.e., corrosion pipeline o...
