Abstract

The genus Carboxydocella forms a deeply branching family in the class Clostridia and is currently represented by three physiologically diverse species of thermophilic prokaryotes. The type strain of the type species, Carboxydocella thermautotrophica 41T, is an obligate chemolithoautotroph growing exclusively by hydrogenogenic CO oxidation. Another strain, isolated from a hot spring at Uzon caldera, Kamchatka in the course of this work, is capable of coupling carboxydotrophy and dissimilatory reduction of Fe(III) from oxic and phyllosilicate minerals. The processes of carboxydotrophy and Fe(III) reduction appeared to be interdependent in this strain. The genomes of both isolates were sequenced, assembled into single chromosome sequences (for strain 41T a plasmid sequence was also assembled) and analyzed. Genome analysis revealed that each of the two strains possessed six genes encoding diverse Ni,Fe-containing CO dehydrogenases (maximum reported in complete prokaryotic genomes), indicating crucial role of carbon monoxide in C. thermautotrophica metabolism. Both strains possessed a set of 30 multiheme c-type cytochromes, but only the newly isolated Fe-reducing strain 019 had one extra gene of a 17-heme cytochrome, which is proposed to represent a novel determinant of dissimilatory iron reduction in prokaryotes. Mössbauer studies revealed that strain 019 induced reductive transformation of the abundant ferric/ferrous-mica mineral glauconite to siderite during carboxydotrophic growth. Reconstruction of the C. thermautotrophica strains energy metabolism is the first comprehensive genome analysis of a representative of the deep phylogenetic branch Clostridia Incertae Sedis, family V. Our data provide insights into energy metabolism of C. thermautotrophica with an emphasis on its ecological implications.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 December 2018.
All research outputs
#5,974,916
of 23,096,849 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Microbiology
#5,664
of 25,270 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#103,121
of 331,035 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Microbiology
#250
of 735 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,096,849 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 25,270 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,035 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 735 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its contemporaries.
