Size doesn’t matter: towards a more inclusive philosophy of biology (2007, background): “…true fungi and several protist groups). only about 545 million years ago (Carroll 2001; Conway Morris 2003).5 Microbes have far greater metabolic diversity than macrobes and can utilize a vast range of organic and inorganic energy sources via numerous metabolic pathways (Amend and Shock 2001).”
Energy conservation via electron bifurcating ferredoxin reduction and proton/Na(+) translocating ferredoxin oxidation. (2013, background): “the free energy change of the reaction (ΔG'=−250 kJ/mol [97]) is about 35 kJ/mol more exergonic than at 25 °C (ΔG'=−215 kJ/mol) [11] allowing for the synthesis of 4 mol ATP per mol glucose from which 1 ATP has to be subtracted for glucose import mediated by a specific ABC transporter [98].”

On the origins of cells: a hypothesis for the evolutionary transitions from abiotic geochemistry to chemoautotrophic prokaryotes, and from prokaryotes to nucleated cells. (2003, background): “…150 different redox reactions involving inorganic donors and acceptors used by the thermophilic prokaryotes alone for their core energy metabolism (Amend & Shock 2001) versus the complete diversity of eukaryotic energy metabolism, which does not comprise more than one single pathway of glucose…”
