In order to gain more information on anaerobic metabolism by natural communities in hot environments, sediments were collected from a shallow marine hydrothermal vent system in Baia di Levante, Vulcano, Italy and incubated under strict anaerobic conditions at 90 degrees C. Sulphate reduction was the predominant terminal electron-accepting process in the sediments. The addition of molybdate inhibited sulphate reduction in the sediments and resulted in a linear accumulation of acetate and hydrogen over time. [U-14C]- acetate was completely oxidized to 14CO2, and the addition of molybdate inhibited 14CO2 production by 60%. [U-14C]-glucose was oxidized to 14CO2, and this was inhibited when molybdate was added. When the pool sizes of short-chain fatty acids were artificially increased, radiolabel from [U-14C]-glucose accumulated in the acetate pool. L-[U-14C]-glutamate, [ring-14C]-benzoate and [U-14C]-palmitate were also anaerobically oxidized to 14CO2 in the sediments, but molybdate had little effect on the oxidation of these compounds. These results demonstrate that natural microbial communities living in a hot, microbial ecosystem can oxidize acetate and a range of other organic electron donors under sulphate-reducing conditions and suggest that acetate is an important extracellular intermediate in the anaerobic degradation of organic matter in hot microbial ecosystems.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12823190?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kashefi, Kazem</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tor, Jason M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Holmes, Dawn E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gaw Van Praagh, Catherine V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reysenbach, Anna-Louise</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lovley, Derek R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Geoglobus ahangari gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel hyperthermophilic archaeon capable of oxidizing organic acids and growing autotrophically on hydrogen with Fe(III) serving as the sole electron acceptor.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Syst Evol Microbiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int.

Isolation was carried out with a new technique using Fe(III) oxide as the electron acceptor for the recovery of colonies on solid medium. The isolate, designated strain 234T, was strictly anaerobic and exhibited a tumbling motility. The cells had a single flagellum. Strain 234T grew at temperatures between 65 and 90 degrees C, with an optimum at about 88 degrees C. The optimal salt concentration for growth was around 19 g l(-1). The isolate was capable of growth with H2 as the sole electron donor coupled to the reduction of Fe(III) without the need for an organic carbon source. This is the first example of a dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing micro-organism capable of growing autotrophically on hydrogen. In addition to molecular hydrogen, strain 234T oxidizes pyruvate, acetate, malate, succinate, peptone, formate, fumarate, yeast extract, glycerol, isoleucine, arginine, serine, glutamine, asparagine, stearate, palmitate, valerate, butyrate and propionate with the reduction of Fe(III). This isolate is the first example of a hyperthermophile capable of oxidizing long-chain fatty acids anaerobically. Isolate 234T grew exclusively with Fe(III) as the sole electron acceptor. The G+C content was 58.7 mol%. Based on detailed analysis of its 16S rDNA sequence, G+C content, distinguishing physiological features and metabolism, strain 234T is proposed to represent a novel genus within the Archaeoglobales. The name proposed for strain 234T is Geoglobus ahangari gen. nov., sp. nov..</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pt 3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12054231?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
