Disease relevance of Desulfuromonas

 

High impact information on Desulfuromonas

  • Unlike the two c(7) molecules with known structures, one from G. sulfurreducens (PpcA) and one from Desulfuromonas acetoxidans where all three hemes are bishistidine coordinated, this domain contains a heme which is coordinated by a methionine and a histidine residue [4].
  • Tenax-TA, a solid-phase sorbent, was used as an alternative to hexadecane for continuous delivery of tetrachloroethene (PCE) to Desulfuromonas strain BB1, a chloro-respiring microorganism [5].
  • One chloroethene-contaminated aquifer tested positive with the Dehalococcoides-targeted primers, and another contaminated aquifer tested positive with the Desulfuromonas dechlorinator-targeted primer pair [6].
  • Hydrogenases, which are ubiquitous in sulfate-reducing bacteria, were previously thought to be absent from Desulfuromonas acetoxidans [7].
  • Desulfuromonas palmitatis sp. nov., a marine dissimilatory Fe(III) reducer that can oxidize long-chain fatty acids [8].
