XoxF-Type Methanol Dehydrogenase from the Anaerobic Methanotroph “Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera”

Citation
Wu et al. (2015). Applied and Environmental Microbiology 81 (4)
Names
Methylomirabilis oxygeniifera Ts
Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera” is a newly discovered anaerobic methanotroph that, surprisingly, oxidizes methane through an aerobic methane oxidation pathway. The second step in this aerobic pathway is the oxidation of methanol. In Gram-negative bacteria, the reaction is catalyzed by pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-dependent methanol dehydrogenase (MDH). The genome of “ Ca . Methylomirabilis oxyfera” putativel

New Mode of Energy Metabolism in the Seventh Order of Methanogens as Revealed by Comparative Genome Analysis of “Candidatus Methanoplasma termitum”

Citation
Lang et al. (2015). Applied and Environmental Microbiology 81 (4)
Names
Methanoplasma termitum Ts Methanoplasma
Abstract
ABSTRACT The recently discovered seventh order of methanogens, the Methanomassiliicoccales (previously referred to as “ Methanoplasmatales ”), so far consists exclusively of obligately hydrogen-dependent methylotrophs. We sequenced the complete genome of “ Candidatus Methanoplasma termitum” from a highly enriched culture obtained from the intestinal tract of termites and compared it with the previously

“Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” Prophage Late Genes May Limit Host Range and Culturability

Citation
Fleites et al. (2014). Applied and Environmental Microbiology 80 (19)
Names
Ca. Liberibacter asiaticus
Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus” is an uncultured alphaproteobacterium that systemically colonizes its insect host both inter- and intracellularly and also causes a severe, crop-destroying disease of citrus called huanglongbing, or citrus “greening.” In planta , “ Ca . Liberibacter asiaticus” is also systemic but phloem limited. “ Ca . Liberibacter asiaticus” strain

Autotrophic Carbon Dioxide Fixation via the Calvin-Benson-Bassham Cycle by the Denitrifying Methanotroph “Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera”

Citation
Rasigraf et al. (2014). Applied and Environmental Microbiology 80 (8)
Names
Methylomirabilis oxygeniifera Ts
Abstract
ABSTRACT Methane is an important greenhouse gas and the most abundant hydrocarbon in the Earth's atmosphere. Methanotrophic microorganisms can use methane as their sole energy source and play a crucial role in the mitigation of methane emissions in the environment. “ Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera” is a recently described intra-aerobic methanotroph that is assumed to use nitric oxide to generate internal oxygen to oxidize methane via the conven

The Pine Bark Adelgid, Pineus strobi, Contains Two Novel Bacteriocyte-Associated Gammaproteobacterial Symbionts

Citation
Toenshoff et al. (2014). Applied and Environmental Microbiology 80 (3)
Names
“Theodorhartigia” “Annandiella pinicola” “Theodorhartigia pinicola”
Abstract
ABSTRACT Bacterial endosymbionts of the pine bark adelgid, Pineus strobi (Insecta: Hemiptera: Adelgidae), were investigated using transmission electron microscopy, 16S and 23S rRNA-based phylogeny, and fluorescence in situ hybridization. Two morphologically different symbionts affiliated with the Gammaproteobacteria were present in distinct bacteriocytes. One of them (“ Candidatus
