Bacterial anaerobic respiration is one of the most ancient and essential metabolism processes, possessing the characteristics of both flexibility and high diversity, and a very close relationship with the physiological function in the ecological environment. Under anaerobic conditions, bacteria and anthropogenic substances can form coupling process facilitating terminal electron transfer. Several forms of bacterial anaerobic respiration and electron transfer related to the biotransformation of pollutants, including respiration with humics, sulfonates, halogenated chemicals, azo compounds, TNTs, metallic and non-metallic elements, are reviewed in this paper. These respirations and electron transfers on diverse electron acceptors in the environment have important biotechnological implications because these biochemical reactions have their roles on the transformation/degradation of toxic substances and the cycling of organic carbon as well as many inorganic elements. Furthermore, remediation of sites contaminated with toxic pollutants based on bacterial anaerobic respirations is being recognized widely.  相似文献

SUMMARY 1. Metabolic and biogeochemical processes in hyporheic zones may depend on inputs of coarse particulate organic matter. Our research focused on how differing quantity and quality of organic matter affects metabolism and nutrient retention in the hyporheic zone of a first-order Appalachian stream.
2. Sixteen plots were established on a tributary of Hugh White Creek, NC, U.S.A. Sediment was extracted and treated with leaves, wood, plastic strips or remained unamended. Following treatment, sediment was returned to the stream and, approximately 3 months later, samples were removed from each plot.
3. Aerobic and anaerobic metabolism were measured as the change in O2 and CO2 in recirculating microcosms. At the same time, we monitored other possible terminal electron accepting processes and changes in nutrient concentrations. Aerobic metabolism was low in all treatments and respiratory quotients calculated for all treatments indicated that metabolism was dominated by anaerobic processes.
4. Rates of anaerobic respiration and total (combined aerobic and anaerobic) respiration were significantly greater ( P  < 0.05) in plots treated with leaf organic matter compared to controls.
5. Addition of leaves, which had a low C:N ratio, stimulated respiration in hyporheic sediments. Anaerobic processes dominated metabolism in both control and amended sediments. Enhanced metabolic rates increased retention of many solutes, indicating that energy flow and nutrient dynamics in the subsurface of streams may depend upon the quantity and quality of imported carbon.  相似文献

1. Lactic acid and succinic acid (end products of anaerobiosis) also occur under aerobic conditions in the haemolymph and excretion products of Biomphalaria glabrata. This phenomenon has been investigated in more detail. 2. Experiments on oxygen uptake, and analyses of organic acid, amino acid and calcium were carried out under various aerating conditions, various temperatures and in various water qualities. 3. No differences were found in the concentrations of the organic acids and calcium in the haemolymph under different aerating conditions. 4. Neither snail-conditioned water, nor artificial crowding effects played a role in the initiation of anaerobic respiration. 5. A low exposure temperature (4 degrees C) initiated anaerobic respiration in spite of the aeration.  相似文献

脱色希瓦氏菌Shewanella decolorationisS12在厌氧环境下能够使用多种电子受体进行厌氧呼吸。为了取得足够的细胞量用于膜蛋白质组学等科学研究的需要,本研究选取无机小分子(硝酸钠)、金属离子(柠檬酸铁)和有机大分子(偶氮染料苋菜红)作为电子受体,在使用确定成分的无机盐培养基条件下,使用不同浓度的电子供体和碳源对S12进行厌氧条件下静置和发酵罐的优化培养,采用连续补充电子受体的培养方式,确认了电子供体和碳源的合适浓度,建立了S12厌氧发酵罐培养方法。相比传统的静置厌氧培养,厌氧发酵罐培养方法在保证了严格厌氧条件下高效率还原电子受体的同时,还极大的提高了细胞生长密度。连续补充电子受体的厌氧发酵罐培养的S12最大细胞密度最大分别可达到静置厌氧培养细胞密度的325,304,369倍,而生长时间也比静置厌氧培养分别缩短了26.5%,17.6%,7.5%。这为需要大量细胞和蛋白的细菌厌氧呼吸生长实验建立了可行方法,对于进行兼性厌氧呼吸的微生物的大规模厌氧培养具有借鉴意义。  相似文献

Summary Recent voltammetric analyses indicate that Shewanella putrefaciens strain 200 produces soluble organic‐Fe(III) complexes during anaerobic respiration of sparingly soluble Fe(III) oxides. Results of the present study expand the range of Shewanella species capable of producing soluble organic‐Fe(III) complexes to include Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1. Soluble organic‐Fe(III) was produced by S. oneidensis cultures incubated anaerobically with Fe(III) oxides, or with Fe(III) oxides and the alternate electron acceptor fumarate, but not in the presence of O2, nitrate or trimethylamine‐N‐oxide. Chemical mutagenesis procedures were combined with a novel MicroElectrode Screening Array (MESA) to identify four (designated Sol) mutants with impaired ability to produce soluble organic‐Fe(III) during anaerobic respiration of Fe(III) oxides. Two of the Sol mutants were deficient in anaerobic growth on both soluble Fe(III)‐citrate and Fe(III) oxide, yet retained the ability to grow on a suite of seven alternate electron acceptors. The rates of soluble organic‐Fe(III) production were proportional to the rates of iron reduction by the S. oneidensis wild‐type and Sol mutant strains, and all four Sol mutants retained wild‐type siderophore production capability. Results of this study indicate that the production of soluble organic‐Fe(III) may be an important intermediate step in the anaerobic respiration of both soluble and sparingly soluble forms of Fe(III) by S. oneidensis.  相似文献

Background

The anaerobic degradation of organic matter in natural environments, and the biotechnical use of anaerobes in energy production and remediation of subsurface environments, both require the cooperative activity of a diversity of microorganisms in different metabolic niches. The Geobacteraceae family contains members with three important anaerobic metabolisms: fermentation, syntrophic degradation of fermentation intermediates, and anaerobic respiration.

Results

In order to learn more about the evolution of anaerobic microbial communities, the genome sequences of six Geobacteraceae species were analyzed. The results indicate that the last common Geobacteraceae ancestor contained sufficient genes for anaerobic respiration, completely oxidizing organic compounds with the reduction of external electron acceptors, features that are still retained in modern Geobacter and Desulfuromonas species. Evolution of specialization for fermentative growth arose twice, via distinct lateral gene transfer events, in Pelobacter carbinolicus and Pelobacter propionicus. Furthermore, P. carbinolicus gained hydrogenase genes and genes for ferredoxin reduction that appear to permit syntrophic growth via hydrogen production. The gain of new physiological capabilities in the Pelobacter species were accompanied by the loss of several key genes necessary for the complete oxidation of organic compounds and the genes for the c-type cytochromes required for extracellular electron transfer.

Conclusion

The results suggest that Pelobacter species evolved parallel strategies to enhance their ability to compete in environments in which electron acceptors for anaerobic respiration were limiting. More generally, these results demonstrate how relatively few gene changes can dramatically transform metabolic capabilities and expand the range of environments in which microorganisms can compete.  相似文献

Some instances of bacterial manganese oxide reduction observed in nature and under laboratory conditions are a form of respiration. Anaerobiosis is not a necessary condition for its occurrence, although anaerobic reduction of manganese oxide which is inhibited by air has been reported. It is the kind of manganese reducing microorganism involved which determines whether anaerobic conditions are required. In at least some instances, complexed Mn(III) may be an extracellularly detectable intermediate in bacterial reduction of Mn(IV). A pyrophosphate complex of Mn(III) has been shown to be reduced by a bacterial culture. Only limited information is available to date concerning electron transport pathways in manganese reduction or organic carbon mineralization coupled to manganese respiration.  相似文献

Exocellular electron transfer in anaerobic microbial communities   总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5  
Exocellular electron transfer plays an important role in anaerobic microbial communities that degrade organic matter. Interspecies hydrogen transfer between microorganisms is the driving force for complete biodegradation in methanogenic environments. Many organic compounds are degraded by obligatory syntrophic consortia of proton-reducing acetogenic bacteria and hydrogen-consuming methanogenic archaea. Anaerobic microorganisms that use insoluble electron acceptors for growth, such as iron- and manganese-oxide as well as inert graphite electrodes in microbial fuel cells, also transfer electrons exocellularly. Soluble compounds, like humic substances, quinones, phenazines and riboflavin, can function as exocellular electron mediators enhancing this type of anaerobic respiration. However, direct electron transfer by cell-cell contact is important as well. This review addresses the mechanisms of exocellular electron transfer in anaerobic microbial communities. There are fundamental differences but also similarities between electron transfer to another microorganism or to an insoluble electron acceptor. The physical separation of the electron donor and electron acceptor metabolism allows energy conservation in compounds as methane and hydrogen or as electricity. Furthermore, this separation is essential in the donation or acceptance of electrons in some environmental technological processes, e.g. soil remediation, wastewater purification and corrosion.  相似文献

Sulfur is an important element in the metabolism of salt marshes and subtidal, coastal marine sediments because of its role as an electron acceptor, carrier, and donor. Sulfate is the major electron acceptor for respiration in anoxic marine sediments. Anoxic respiration becomes increasingly important in sediments as total respiration increases, and so sulfate reduction accounts for a higher percentage of total sediment respiration in sediments where total respiration is greater. Thus, sulfate accounts for 25% of total sediment respiration in nearshore sediments (200 m water depth or less) where total respiration rates are 0.1 to 0.3gCm–1 day–1 , for 50% to 70% in nearshore sediments with higher rates of total respiration (0.3 to 3gCm–2 day–1), and for 70% to 90% in salt marsh sediments where total sediment respiration rates are 2.5 to 5.5gcm–2 day–1 .During sulfate reduction, large amounts of energy from the respired organic matter are conserved in inorganic reduced sulfur compounds such as soluble sulfides, thiosulfate, elemental sulfur, iron monosulfides, and pyrite. Only a small percentage of the reduced sulfur formed during sulfate reduction is accreted in marine sediments and salt marshes. When these reduced sulfur compounds are oxidized, energy is released. Chemolithoautotrophic bacteria which catalyze these oxidations can use the energy of oxidation with efficiencies (the ratio of energy fixed in organic biomass to energy released in sulfur oxidation) of up to 21–37% to fix CO2 and produce new organic biomass.Chemolithoautotrophic bacterial production may represent a significant new formation of organic matter in some marine sediments. In some sediments, chemolithoautotrophic bacterial production may even equal or exceed organoheterotrophic bacterial production. The combined cycle of anaerobic decomposition through sulfate reduction, energy conservation as reduced sulfur compounds; and chemolithoautotrophic production of new organic carbon serves to take relatively low-quality organic matter from throughout the sediments and concentrate the energy as living biomass in a discrete zone near the sediment surface where it can be readily grazed by animals.Contribution from a symposium on the role of sulfur in ecosystem processes held August 10, 1983, at the annual meeting of the A.I.B.S., Grand Forks, ND; Myron Mitchell, convenor.  相似文献

A comparative investigation of protein expression by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was conducted between Bacillus subtilis cultures grown in defined medium under aerobic, anaerobic nitrate respiration, or fermentation conditions. Defined medium specific for either nitrate respiration or fermentation allowed distinction between proteins induced by each individual growth process. Our differential protein profiling analysis between aerobic and anaerobic conditions showed that anaerobic fermentation induced at least 44 proteins and nitrate respiration induced at least 19 proteins compared to aerobic controls. Certain proteins were specifically induced during nitrate respiration or fermentation, while others were induced by both anaerobic processes. Eleven proteins induced by nitrate respiration and/or fermentation were identified by peptide mass matching using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. Proteins encoded by feuA, hmp, and ytkD were induced by nitrate respiration. Proteins encoded by pyrR, sucD, trpC, and ywjH were induced by fermentation. Proteins encoded by acuB, pdhC, ydjL, and yvyD were induced by nitrate respiration and fermentation. This proteomic analysis has provided a more complete characterization of B. subtilis anaerobic growth and increased our understanding of its metabolic pathways of nitrate respiration and fermentation.  相似文献

In this work, we investigated the anaerobic decolorization of methyl orange (MO), a typical azo dye, by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, which can use various organic and inorganic substances as its electron acceptor in natural and engineered environments. S. oneidensis MR-1 was found to be able to obtain energy for growth through anaerobic respiration accompanied with dissimilatory azo-reduction of MO. Chemical analysis shows that MO reduction occurred via the cleavage of azo bond. Block of Mtr respiratory pathway, a transmembrane electron transport chain, resulted in a reduction of decolorization rate by 80%, compared to the wild type. Knockout of cymA resulted in a substantial loss of its azo-reduction ability, indicating that CymA is a key c-type cytochrome in the electron transfer chain to MO. Thus, the MtrA-MtrB-MtrC respiratory pathway is proposed to be mainly responsible for the anaerobic decolorization of azo dyes such as MO by S. oneidensis.  相似文献

Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 respires a wide range of anaerobic electron acceptors, including sparingly soluble Fe(III) oxides. In the present study, S. oneidensis was found to produce Fe(III)-solubilizing organic ligands during anaerobic Fe(III) oxide respiration, a respiratory strategy postulated to destabilize Fe(III) and produce more readily reducible soluble organic Fe(III). In-frame gene deletion mutagenesis, siderophore detection assays, and voltammetric techniques were combined to determine (i) if the Fe(III)-solubilizing organic ligands produced by S. oneidensis during anaerobic Fe(III) oxide respiration were synthesized via siderophore biosynthesis systems and (ii) if the Fe(III)-siderophore reductase was required for respiration of soluble organic Fe(III) as an anaerobic electron acceptor. Genes predicted to encode the siderophore (hydroxamate) biosynthesis system (SO3030 to SO3032), the Fe(III)-hydroxamate receptor (SO3033), and the Fe(III)-hydroxamate reductase (SO3034) were identified in the S. oneidensis genome, and corresponding in-frame gene deletion mutants were constructed. ΔSO3031 was unable to synthesize siderophores or produce soluble organic Fe(III) during aerobic respiration yet retained the ability to solubilize and respire Fe(III) at wild-type rates during anaerobic Fe(III) oxide respiration. ΔSO3034 retained the ability to synthesize siderophores during aerobic respiration and to solubilize and respire Fe(III) at wild-type rates during anaerobic Fe(III) oxide respiration. These findings indicate that the Fe(III)-solubilizing organic ligands produced by S. oneidensis during anaerobic Fe(III) oxide respiration are not synthesized via the hydroxamate biosynthesis system and that the Fe(III)-hydroxamate reductase is not essential for respiration of Fe(III)-citrate or Fe(III)-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) as an anaerobic electron acceptor.Bacterial electron transfer to sparingly soluble electron acceptors is a critical component of a wide variety of environmental and energy-generating processes, including biogeochemical cycling of metals, degradation of natural and contaminant organic matter, weathering of clays and minerals, biomineralization of Fe-bearing minerals, reductive precipitation of toxic metals and radionuclides, and electricity generation in microbial fuel cells (17, 33, 34). Anaerobic and facultatively anaerobic bacteria capable of respiring sparingly soluble (<10−25 M at pH 7) Fe(III) oxides are ubiquitous in nature and may be found in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments, including metal- and radionuclide-contaminated subsurface aquifers (25, 34). Fe(III)-respiring prokaryotes are also deeply rooted and scattered throughout the domains Bacteria and Archaea (possibly indicating an ancient metabolic process) and include hyperthermophiles, psychrophiles, acidophiles, and extreme barophiles (34). Despite their potential environmental, energy-generating, and evolutionary significance, the molecular details of microbial Fe(III) respiration remain unclear.Fe(III)-respiring, neutrophilic bacteria are presented with a unique physiological challenge: they are required to respire anaerobically on electron acceptors found largely as sparingly soluble Fe(III) oxides presumably unable to contact periplasm- or inner membrane (IM)-localized electron transport systems. To overcome this problem, Fe(III)-respiring bacteria are postulated to employ novel respiratory strategies not found in other bacteria (e.g., aerobes, denitrifiers, sulfate-reducing bacteria, and methanogens) that respire soluble electron acceptors (17, 38). The novel respiratory strategies include (i) a direct-contact pathway in which terminal Fe(III) reductases are secreted to the cell outer membrane (OM), where they contact and deliver electrons directly to external Fe(III) oxides (18, 23, 40, 42, 48, 57, 64, 67), (ii) a two-step electron shuttling pathway in which bacterially reduced endogenous or exogenous electron shuttles deliver electrons to external Fe(III) oxides in a second (abiotic) electron transfer reaction (11, 26, 39, 45), and (iii) a two-step Fe(III) chelation (solubilization) pathway in which Fe(III) oxides are first nonreductively dissolved by endogenously synthesized organic ligands prior to reduction of the resulting soluble organic Fe(III) [Fe(III) bound to an organic molecule] complexes (36, 59).Candidate organic ligands for production of soluble organic Fe(III) during anaerobic Fe(III) oxide respiration include siderophores, the Fe(III)-chelating compounds synthesized and secreted by a wide variety of bacteria and fungi for solubilization and subsequent assimilation of otherwise inaccessible Fe(III) substrates (12, 44, 49, 63). Hydroxamate-type siderophores are produced via N6 hydroxylation and N6 acylation of l-ornithine and, in some cases, cyclization to macrocyclic ring structures (13). The macrocyclic siderophores bisucaberin and putrebactin, for example, are two structural analogs of the cyclic bis(hydroxamate) siderophore alcaligin, synthesized by Aliivibrio salmonicida and Shewanella putrefaciens strain 200, respectively (27, 32, 65). After transport across the cell envelope via a TonB-dependent pathway, Fe(III) is subsequently released from the Fe(III)-siderophore complex by ligand exchange reactions promoted by siderophore ligand hydrolysis and/or protonation or by Fe(III)-siderophore reduction and release of Fe(II) to acceptor ligands (9, 66).The main objectives of the present study were to determine (i) if the Fe(III)-solubilizing organic ligands produced by S. oneidensis during anaerobic Fe(III) oxide respiration are synthesized by Fe(III)-siderophore biosynthesis systems and (ii) if Fe(III)-siderophore reductases are required for respiration of soluble organic Fe(III) as an anaerobic electron acceptor. The experimental strategy for this study included (i) identification of genes encoding the siderophore biosynthesis and Fe(III)-siderophore reductase systems in the S. oneidensis genome, (ii) generation of in-frame deletions in the corresponding siderophore biosynthesis and Fe(III)-siderophore reductase genes, (iii) tests of the resulting siderophore biosynthesis mutants for production of siderophores and soluble organic Fe(III) during aerobic and anaerobic Fe(III) oxide respiration, and (iv) tests of the resulting Fe(III)-siderophore reductase mutants for respiration of soluble organic Fe(III) as an anaerobic electron acceptor.  相似文献

Summary Oryza sativa Loisel cultivar Mars., a common lowland rice variety was grown under controlled soil redox conditions (Eh) and acidity (pH). The effect of two variables (Eh and pH) on growth, anaerobic root respiration, and uptake of added labelled nitrogen, was investigated. Plant growth, estimated by dry weight showed significantly higher growth under reducing sediment redox potentials (−200 mV and 0 mV) and at a soil pH of 6.5 Using the activity of the inducible enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) as an indicator of anaerobic root respiration, a decrease in redox potential resulted in an increase in root ADH. However, growth paralled increases in anaerobic root respiration suggesting nitrogen transformation in the soil to be a primary parameter governing growth. Labelled nitrogen uptake which was greater under anaerobic conditions apparently led to greater growth of lowland rice in the highly reduced or anaerobic soil treatments.  相似文献

中国希瓦氏菌D14^T的厌氧腐殖质呼吸   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
实验证明,希瓦氏菌新种(ShewanellacinicaD14T)在厌氧条件下可以利用多种有机酸盐和甲苯等环境有毒污染物作为电子供体,以腐殖质作为唯一末端电子受体进行厌氧呼吸(即醌呼吸)。电子在细胞膜呼吸链的传递过程中,偶联能量的产生来支持菌体的生长,1mmol/LAQDS可支持细胞增殖约60倍。电子供体的氧化和唯一电子受体腐殖质还原之间存在着动态的偶联过程,随着电子供体量的增加腐殖质还原的量也随之增加。典型呼吸链抑制剂诸如:抑制Fe-S中心的Cu2 ,甲基萘醌类似物标桩菌素,抑制甲基萘醌氧化型向还原型转化的双香豆素和细胞色素P450的专一抑制物甲吡酮等对腐殖质的还原有着极为显著的抑制作用,为进一步证明希瓦氏菌(Shewanellacinica)D14T可利用腐殖质进行厌氧呼吸提供了有力的佐证。而D14T在进行腐殖质呼吸的同时,对于甲苯,苯胺等环境有毒物质的有效降解则具有着重要的环境学意义。  相似文献

Formate-grown cells of the obligately chemolithoautotrophic acidophile Thiobacillus ferrooxidans were capable of formate- and elemental sulfur-dependent reduction of ferric iron under anaerobic conditions. Under aerobic conditions, both oxygen and ferric iron could be simultaneously used as electron acceptors. To investigate whether anaerobic ferric iron respiration by T. ferrooxidans is an energy-transducing process, uptake of amino acids was studied. Glycine uptake by starved cells did not occur in the absence of an electron donor, neither under aerobic conditions nor under anaerobic conditions. Uptake of glycine could be driven by formate- and ferrous iron-dependent oxygen uptake. Under anaerobic conditions, ferric iron respiration with the electron donors formate and elemental sulfur could energize glycine uptake. Glycine uptake was inhibited by the uncoupler 2,4-dinitrophenol. The results indicate that anaerobic ferric iron respiration can contribute to the energy budget of T. ferrooxidans.  相似文献

腐殖质在环境污染物生物降解中的作用研究进展   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
腐殖质物质在地球的生态环境中大量存在,它不仅可以在有毒化合物的生物降解和生物转化过程中起到氧化还原中间体的作用,加速有毒物质的降解和转化。也可以作为唯一末端电子受体,接受来自一些有机酸或者甲苯等环境中有毒物质提供的电子,偶联能量的产生,支持菌体的生长,形成一种新的细菌厌氧呼吸形式——腐殖质呼吸。因此,对腐殖质在环境有毒物质的生物降解和生物转化过程中的作用进行研究,不仪对于深入理解细菌呼吸的本质具有重要的理论意义,而且对于环境有毒物质的降解和转化以及元素的生物地球化学循环具有重要的生态学意义,同时对地球表面的有毒物质进行更有效的生物降解具有重要的现实意义。  相似文献
