    Notes: Abstract Methanosarcina barkeri and Desulfobacter postgatei are ubiquitous anaerobic bacteria which grow on acetate or acetate plus sulfate, respectively, as sole energy sources. Their apparent K s values for acetate were determined and found to be approximately 0.2 mM for the sulfate-reducing bacterium and 3 mM for the methanogenic bacterium. In mixed cell suspensions of the two bacteria (adjusted to equal V max) the rate of acetate consumption by D. postgatei approached 15-fold the rate of M. barkeri at low acetate concentrations. The apparent inhibition of methanogenesis was of the same order as expected from the different K s value for acetate. Difference in substrate affinities can thus account for the inhibition of methanogenesis from acetate in sulfate-rich environments, where the acetate concentration is well below 1 mM.

    Notes: Abstract Methanosarcina barkeri strain Fusaro was found to grow on pyruvate as sole carbon and energy source after an incubation period of 10–12 weeks in the presence of high pyruvate concentrations (100 mM). Growth studies, cell suspension experiments and enzymatic investigations were performed with pyruvate-utilizing M. barkeri. For comparison acetate-adapted cells of M. barkeri were analyzed. 1. Pyruvate-utilizing M. barkeri grew on pyruvate (100 mM) with an initial doubling time of about 25 h (37 °C, pH 6.5) up to cell densities of about 0.8 g cell dry weight/l. The specific growth rate was linearily dependent on the pyruvate concentration up to 100 mM indicating that pyruvate was taken up by passive diffusion. Only CO2 and CH4 were detected as fermentation products. As calculated from fermentation balances pyruvate was converted to CH4 and CO2 according to following equation: Pyruvate-+H++0.5 H2O » 1.25 CH4+1.75 CO2. The molar growth yield (Ych 4) was about 14 g dry weight cells/mol CH4. In contrast the growth yield (Ych 4) of M. barkeri during growth on acctate (Acetate-+H+ » CH4+CO2) was about 3 g/mol CH4. 2. Cell suspensions of pyruvate-grown M. barkeri catalyzed the conversion of pyruvate to CH4, CO2 and H2 (5–15 nmol pyruvate consumed/min x mg protein). At low cell concentrations (0.5 mg protein/ml) 1 mol pyruvate was converted to 1 mol CH4, 2 mol CO2 and 1 mol H2. At higher cell concentration less H2 and CO2 and more CH4 were formed due to CH4 formation from H2/CO2. The rate of pyruvate conversion was linearily dependent on the pyruvate concentration up to about 30 mM. Cell suspensions of acetate-grown M. barkeri also catalyzed the conversion of 1 mol pyruvate to 1 mol CH4, 2 mol CO2 and 1 mol H2 at similar rates and with similar affinity for pyruvate as pyruvate-grown cells. 3. Cell extracts of both pyruvate-grown and acetate-grown M. barkeri contained pyruvate: ferredoxin oxidoreductase. The specific activity in pyruvate-grown cells (0.8 U/mg) was 8-fold higher than in acetate-grown cells (0.1 U/mg). Coenzyme F420 was excluded as primary electron acceptor of pyruvate oxidoreductase. Cell extracts of pyruvate-grown M. barkeri contained carbon monoxide dehydrogenase activity and hydrogenase activity catalyzing the reduction by carbon monoxide and hydrogen of both methylviologen and ferredoxin (from Clostridium). This is the first report on growth of a methanogen on pyruvate as sole carbon and energy source, i.e. on a substrate more complex than acetate.

    Different Ks values for hydrogen of methanogenic bacteria and sulfate reducing bacteria: An explanation for the apparent inhibition of methanogenesis by sulfate (1982)

    Notes: Abstract Desulfovibrio vulgaris (Marburg) and Methanobrevibacter arboriphilus (AZ) are anaerobic sewage sludge bacteria which grow on H2 plus sulfate and H2 plus CO2 as sole energy sources, respectively. Their apparent Ks values for H2 were determined and found to be approximately 1 μM for the sulfate reducing bacterium and 6 μM for the methanogenic bacterium. In mixed cell suspensions of the two bacteria (adjusted to equal V max) the rate of H2 consumption by D. vulgaris was five times that of M. arboriphilus, when the hydrogen supply was rate limiting. The apparent inhibition of methanogenesis was of the same order as expected from the different Ks values for H2. Difference in substrate affinities can thus account for the inhibition of methanogenesis from H2 and CO2 in sulfate rich environments, where the H2 concentration is well below 5 μM.

    Notes: Abstract The anaerobic hyperthermophilic archaea Desulfurococcus amylolyticus, Hyperthermus butylicus, Thermococcus celer, Pyrococcus woesei, the hyperthermophilic bacteria Thermotoga maritima and Clostridium thermohydrosulfuricum and the aerobic mesophilic archaeon Halobacterium saccharovorum were grown either on complex media, on sugars or on pyruvate as carbon and energy sources. During growth acetate was formed as fermentation product by all organisms. The enzymes involved in acetyl-CoA formation from pyruvate and in acetate formation from acetyl-CoA were investigated: 1. Cell extracts of all species, both archaea and bacteria, catalyzed the coenzyme A-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate with viologen dyes or with Clostridium pasteurianum ferredoxin as electron acceptors indicating a pyruvate: ferredoxin oxidoreductase to be operative in acetyl-CoA formation from pyruvate. 2. Cell extracts of all archaeal species, both hyperthermophiles (D. amylolyticus, H. butylicus, T. celer, P. woesei) and the mesophile H. saccharovorum, contained an acetyl-CoA synthetase (ADP forming), which catalyzes both acetate formation from acetyl-CoA and ATP synthesis from ADP and phosphate (Pi): Acetyl-CoA+ADP+Pi⇌Acetate + ATP+CoA. Phosphate acetyltransferase and acetate kinase could not be detected. 3. Cell extracts of the hyperthermophilic (eu)bacteria T. maritima and C. thermohydrosulfuricum contained phosphate acetyltransferase and acetate kinase rather than acetyl-CoA synthetase (ADP forming). These data indicate that acetyl-CoA synthetase (ADP forming) represents a typical archaeal property rather than an enzyme specific for hyperthermophiles. It is proposed that in all acetate forming archaea the formation of acetate and of ATP from acetyl-CoA, ADP and Pi are catalyzed by acetyl-CoA synthetase (ADP forming), whereas in all acetate forming (eu)bacteria these reactions are catalyzed by two enzymes, phosphate acetyltransferase and acetate kinase.
