carbonic anhydrase in acetobacterium woodii and other acetogenic bacteria.	acetobacterium woodii, acetohalobium arabaticum, clostridium formicoaceticum, and sporomusa silvacetica were found to contain carbonic anhydrase (ca). minimal to no ca activity was detected in moorella thermoautotrophica, moorella thermoacetica subsp. "pratumsolum," sporomusa termitida, and thermoanaerobacter kivui. of the acetogens tested, a. woodii had the highest ca specific activity, approximately 14 u mg of protein(-1), in extracts of either glucose- or h2-co2-cultivated cells. ca of a. woo ...	1997	9371472
selenihalanaerobacter shriftii gen. nov., sp. nov., a halophilic anaerobe from dead sea sediments that respires selenate.	we isolated an obligately anaerobic halophilic bacterium from the dead sea that grew by respiration of selenate. the isolate, designated strain dsse-1, was a gram-negative, non-motile rod. it oxidized glycerol or glucose to acetate + co2 with concomitant reduction of selenate to selenite plus elemental selenium. other electron acceptors that supported anaerobic growth on glycerol were nitrate and trimethylamine-n-oxide; nitrite, arsenate, fumarate, dimethylsulfoxide, thiosulfate, elemental sulfu ...	2001	11357513
complete genome sequence of acetohalobium arabaticum type strain (z-7288).	acetohalobium arabaticum zhilina and zavarzin 1990 is of special interest because of its physiology and its participation in the anaerobic c(1)-trophic chain in hypersaline environments. this is the first completed genome sequence of the family halobacteroidaceae and only the second genome sequence in the order halanaerobiales. the 2,469,596 bp long genome with its 2,353 protein-coding and 90 rna genes is a part of the genomic encyclopedia of bacteria and archaea project.	2010	21304692
