A 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate autotrophic carbon dioxide assimilation pathway in Archaea.
The assimilation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic material is quantitatively the most important biosynthetic process. We discovered that an autotrophic member of the archaeal order Sulfolobales, Metallosphaera sedula, fixed CO2 with acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA)/propionyl-CoA carboxylase as the key carboxylating enzyme. In this system, one acetyl-CoA and two bicarbonate molecules were redu...
متن کاملEvidence for the presence of the reductive pentose phosphate cycle in a filamentous anoxygenic photosynthetic bacterium, Oscillochloris trichoides strain DG-6.
Studies on autotrophic CO2 fixation by the filamentous anoxygenic photosynthetic bacterium Oscillochloris trichoides strain DG-6 demonstrated that, unlike other green bacteria, this organism metabolized CO2 via the reductive pentose phosphate cycle. Both key enzymes of this cycle--ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase and phosphoribulokinase--were detected in cell extracts. The main p...

متن کاملHydrogenase and ribulose diphosphate carboxylase during autotrophic, heterotrophic, and mixotrophic growth of scotochromogenic mycobacteria.
Two key autotrophic enzyme systems, hydrogenase and ribulose diphosphate carboxylase, were examined in Mycobacterium gordonae and two other chemolithotrophic, scotochromogenic mycobacteria under different cultural conditions. In all three organisms both enzymes were inducible and were produced in significant levels only in the presence of the specific substrate, hydrogen or carbon dioxide. M. g...
متن کاملEffects of calcium on the photosynthesis of intact leaves and isolated chloroplasts of sugar beets.
Effects of calcium on photosynthesis in sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L. cv. F58-554H1) were studied by inducing calcium deficiency and determining changes in CO(2) uptake by attached leaves, electron transport, and photophosphorylation by isolated chloroplasts, and CO(2) assimilation by ribulose diphosphate carboxylase extracts. Calcium deficiency had no significant effect on leaf CO(2) uptake, p...
