RESUMO
Acetogenium kivui could not be revived or maintained in a sodium-deficient medium (0.2 mM sodium) under H2-dependent conditions, and neither lithium nor potassium replaced the sodium requirement of H2-cultivated cells. Conversely, the revival and maintenance of glucose-cultivated cells did not display a dependency on supplemental sodium. In the absence of growth, formate became a major end product in both sodium-deficient and metabolically impaired H2-grown cultures of A. kivui. Harmaline, a putative inhibitor of Na+/H+ antiporters, uncoupled acetogenesis from H2-dependent growth but was less effective when growth was at the expense of glucose. Significantly, carbon monoxide (CO) stimulated H2-dependent growth of A. kivui but inhibited glucose-dependent growth. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that sodium plays a critical role in the H2-dependent bioenergetics of A. kivui and indicate that autotrophic and heterotrophic cells may utilize dissimilar mechanisms of energy conservation. In contrast to the growth of A. kivui, supplemental sodium was not required for the glucose-, H2-, and CO-dependent growth of Clostridium thermoaceticum.
