Using microbial communities and extracellular enzymes to link soil organic matter characteristics to greenhouse gas production in a tidal freshwater wetland (2014, background): “7), and methanogens exclusively use fermentation products and CO2 as their carbon source (Thauer et al. 2008; Reddy and De Laune 2008).”
Microbial cellulolytic enzymes: diversity and biotechnology with reference to lignocellulosic biomass degradation (2020, background): “Finally, methanogenic archaea (methanogens) carry out methanogenesis using carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas to create methane as a byproduct of gastro-enteric fermentation (Thauer et al. 2008).”
Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer between Geobacter metallireducens and Methanosarcina barkeri (2014, background): “Methanosaeta and Methanosarcina are the only genera of methanogens with membrane-bound cytochromes (53, 54) that could potentially play a role in extracellular electron exchange.”
Energy conservation via electron bifurcating ferredoxin reduction and proton/Na(+) translocating ferredoxin oxidation. (2013, methodology): “Also used were E'=−320 mV for the NAD/NADH couple, E'=−320 mV for the NADP/NADPH couple, E'=−10 mV for the crotonyl-CoA/butyryl-CoA couple [10] and E'=–140 mV for the CoM-S-S-CoB/CoM-SH+CoB-SH couple (Table 1) [29].”
Autotrophic carbon fixation in archaea (2010, background): “Reducing power for biosynthesis is also provided by the oxidation of reduced inorganic substrates, although the reduction of NAD or NADP and ferredoxin might require an energy-driven reverse electron flo”
Extracellular electron uptake by two Methanosarcina species (2018, background): “M. formicicum is particularly well-suited for such a test because, the H2 threshold of such a strict hydrogenotroph is lower than that of Methanosarcina-methanogens (Thauer et al., 2008, 2010).”
Biogas productivity of anaerobic digestion process is governed by a core bacterial microbiota (2020, background): “There are three guilds of methanogens based on physiology; (1) acetoclastic methanogens, namely Methanosaeta; (2) versatile ones, namely Methanosarcina; and (3) the hydrogenotrophic ones, which is a big group of all the other methanogens [28].”
