PhysiologyAmino Acid and Sugar Catabolism in the Marine Bacterium Phaeobacter inhibens DSM 17395 from an Energetic ViewpointHeterotrophic members of the bacterioplankton serve the marine ecosystem by transforming organic matter, an activity that is governed by the bacterial growth efficiencies (BGEs) obtained under given environmental conditions. In marine ecology, the concept of BGE refers to the carbon assimilation efficiency within natural communities. The marine bacterium studied here, ...
PhysiologyAlanine, a Novel Growth Substrate for the Acetogenic Bacterium Acetobacterium woodiiPeptides and amino acids are widespread in nature, but there are only a few reports that demonstrated use of amino acids as carbon and energy sources by acetogenic bacteria, a central and important group in the anaerobic food web. Our finding that A. woodii can perform alanine oxidation coupled to reduction of carbon dioxide not only increases the number of substrates...
