Nickel enzymes, present in archaea, bacteria, plants, and primitive eukaryotes are divided
into redox and nonredox enzymes and play key functions in diverse metabolic processes …

Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) catalyzes the methane-forming step in methanogenic
archaea. The active enzyme harbors the nickel (I) hydrocorphin coenzyme F-430 as a …

Worldwide waste generation has become a topic of interest since the accumulation of this
waste has prompted environmental hazards. Among which, anaerobic digestion provides …

Methanogenesis has been widely accepted as an ancient metabolism, but the precise
evolutionary trajectory remains hotly debated. Disparate theories exist regarding its …

Methanogens and anaerobic methane-oxidizing archaea (ANME) are important players in
the global carbon cycle. Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) is a key enzyme in methane …

The rapid-growing and genetically tractable methanogen Methanococcus maripaludis is a
promising host organism for the biotechnological conversion of carbon dioxide and …

The methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) is a central enzyme in anaerobic microbial
methane metabolism, which consists of methanogenesis and anaerobic oxidation of …

E-materials become e-waste once they have been discarded without the intent of reuse. Due
to its rich content of metals, among which many are Critical Raw Materials (CRMs), e-waste …

Most methanogenic archaea use the rudimentary hydrogenotrophic pathway—from CO2
and H2 to methane—as the terminal step of microbial biomass degradation in anoxic …

Microbial anaerobic oxidation of alkanes intrigues the scientific community by way of its
impact on the global carbon cycle, and its biotechnological applications. Archaea are …
