Disease relevance of Thauera

• The electrochemical results have been correlated with the differing oxygen sensitivities of [4Fe-4S] clusters, and comparisons have been drawn with other ferredoxins (Desulfovibrio africanus FdIII, Clostridium pasteurianum Fd, Thauera aromatica Fd and Pyrococcus furiosus Fd) [1].
• Degenerate primers were developed from the known benzoyl-CoA reductase genes from Thauera aromatica, Rhodopseudomonas palustris, and Azoarcus evansii [2].
• This compound was not detected in culture extracts of Rhodopseudomonas palustris grown phototrophically or Thauera aromatica grown under nitrate-reducing conditions [3].
• The degradability of pivalic acid was established by the isolation of several facultative denitrifying strains belonging to Zoogloea resiniphila, to Thauera and Herbaspirillum, and to Comamonadaceae, related to [Aquaspirillum] and Acidovorax, and of a nitrate-reducing bacterium affiliated with Moraxella osloensis [4].
• The anaerobic metabolism of phenylalanine was studied in the denitrifying bacterium Thauera aromatica, a member of the beta-subclass of the Proteobacteria [5].
