Proteogenomic analysis of Georgfuchsia toluolica revealed unexpected concurrent...
Atashgahi, Siavash; Oosterkamp, Margreet J.; Peng, Peng; Frank, Jeroen; Kraft, Beate; Hornung, Bastian; Schleheck, David; Lücker, SebastianDenitrifying Betaproteobacteria play a key role in the anaerobic degradation of monoaromatic hydrocarbons. We performed a multi-omics study to better understand the metabolism of the representative organism Georgfuchsia toluolica strain G5G6 known as a strict anaerobe coupling toluene oxidation with dissimilatory nitrate and Fe(III) reduction. Despite the genomic potential for degradation of different carbon so...
Organohalide-respiring Desulfoluna species isolated from marine environments
Peng, Peng; Goris, Tobias; Lu, Yue; Nijsse, Bart; Burrichter, Anna; Schleheck, David; Koehorst, Jasper J.; Liu, Jie; Sipkema, DetmerThe genus Desulfoluna comprises two anaerobic sulfate-reducing strains, D. spongiiphila AA1T and D. butyratoxydans MSL71T, of which only the former was shown to perform organohalide respiration (OHR). Here we isolated a third strain, designated D. spongiiphila strain DBB, from marine intertidal sediment using 1,4-dibromobenzene and sulfate as the electron acceptors and lactate as the electron donor. Each strain...
