1. Influência dos nutrientes nitrogênio e fósforo na degradação anaeróbia do pentaclorofenol e na diversidade microbiana dos sedimentos enriquecidos do Estuário de Santos-São Vicente, Estado de São Paulo / Influence of nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients on the anaerobic degradation of pentachlorophenol and on the natural microbial diversity of sediments from the Santos-São Vicente estuary, state of São Paulo, Brazil
The research presented here aimed to determine the optimal nutritional conditions for the use of sediment from the Santos-São Vicente estuary in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, as an inoculum for a horizontal-flow anaerobic immobilized biomass reactor (HAIB) applied to the anaerobic degradation of pentachlorophenol (PCP), seeking to apply the technology on

2. Glycine Betaine Transport in the Obligate Halophilic Archaeon Methanohalophilus portucalensis
Transport of the osmoprotectant glycine betaine was investigated using the glycine betaine-synthesizing microbe Methanohalophilus portucalensis (strain FDF1), since solute uptake for this class of obligate halophilic methanogenic Archaea has not been examined. Betaine uptake followed a Michaelis-Menten relationship, with an observed Kt of 23 μM and a Vmax o

3. Bioenergetic Aspects of Halophilism
Examinination of microbial diversity in environments of increasing salt concentrations indicates that certain types of dissimilatory metabolism do not occur at the highest salinities. Examples are methanogenesis for H2 + CO2 or from acetate, dissimilatory sulfate reduction with oxidation of acetate, and autotrophic nitrification. Occurrence of the different

4. CbiZ, an amidohydrolase enzyme required for salvaging the coenzyme B12 precursor cobinamide in archaea
The existence of a pathway for salvaging the coenzyme B12 precursor dicyanocobinamide (Cbi) from the environment was established by genetic and biochemical means. The pathway requires the function of a previously unidentified amidohydrolase enzyme that converts adenosylcobinamide to adenosylcobyric acid, a bona fide intermediate of the de novo coenzyme B12 b

5. The cobY Gene of the Archaeon Halobacterium sp. Strain NRC-1 Is Required for De Novo Cobamide Synthesis
Genetic and nutritional analyses of mutants of the extremely halophilic archaeon Halobacterium sp. strain NRC-1 showed that open reading frame (ORF) Vng1581C encodes a protein with nucleoside triphosphate:adenosylcobinamide-phosphate nucleotidyltransferase enzyme activity. This activity was previously associated with the cobY gene of the methanogenic archaeo
