Is reduced ferredoxin the physiological electron donor for MetVF-type methylenetetrahydrofolate reductases in acetogenesis? A hypothesis

Christian Oeppinger et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the structure and electron donor of methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase, providing evidence that reduced ferredoxin cannot be the physiological electron donor under in vivo conditions. The study also discusses the possible reasons for the discrepancy between in vitro and in vivo functions, and presents a model for the incorporation of the MetVF-type MTHFR into metabolism to achieve a positive ATP yield.

Energy Conservation in the Acetogenic Bacterium Clostridium aceticum

Anja Wiechmann et al.

Summary: The article discusses the biochemistry and bioenergetics of acetogenic bacteria for capturing CO2 and their potential for biotechnological production. Research findings suggest that C. aceticum may use a Na+ gradient for ATP synthesis instead of an H+ gradient.

Lactate metabolism in strictly anaerobic microorganisms with a soluble NAD+-dependent l-lactate dehydrogenase

Florian P. Rosenbaum et al.

Summary: Lactate metabolism in strictly anaerobic microorganisms remains unclear, but a reversible l-lactate:NAD(+) oxidoreductase was discovered in the acetogenic bacterium Moorella thermoacetica, with specific activity and optimal conditions characterized. Transcriptomic and genomic analyses revealed induction of ldh expression by lactate and upregulation of genes encoding key redox and energy metabolism complexes during growth on lactate.
