Abstract excerpt
Methanosarcina acetivorans is able to use carbon monoxide (CO) as the sole source of energy for growth. Its carboxidotrophic growth is peculiar as it involves formation of acetate, formate and methylated thiols, besides methane. Under this condition three proteins homologous to both corrinoid proteins and methyltransferases (MA0859, MA4384 and MA4558) are highly abundant. To address their role in M. acetivorans,...
