| 2.8.4.1 | analysis |
methanogen diversity evidenced by molecular characterization of methyl coenzyme M reductase A genes in hydrothermal sediments of the Guaymas Basin |

| 2.8.4.1 | biofuel production |
CH4 is an important biofuel as well as a potential feedstock for the chemical industry if it can be converted by Mcr to a liquid biofuel with a high energy density |
-, 761400 |
| 2.8.4.1 | environmental protection |
expression of methyl-coenzyme M reductase from an unculturable organism in Methanosarcina acetivorans to effectively run methanogenesis in reverse. Methanosarcina acetivorans cells heterologously producing methyl-coenzyme M reductase consume up to 9% of methane (corresponding to 109 micromol of methane) after 6 weeks of anaerobic growth on methane and utilize 10 mM FeCl3 as an electron acceptor. When incubated on methane for 5 days, high-densities of cells consume 15% methane (corresponding to 143 micromol of methane), and produce 10.3 mM acetate (corresponding to 52 micromol of acetate) |

| 2.8.4.1 | synthesis |
expression of methyl-coenzyme M reductase from an unculturable organism in Methanosarcina acetivorans to effectively run methanogenesis in reverse. Methanosarcina acetivorans cells heterologously producing methyl-coenzyme M reductase consume up to 9% of methane (corresponding to 109 ± 12 micromol of methane) after 6 weeks of anaerobic growth on methane and utilize 10 mM FeCl3 as an electron acceptor. When incubated on methane for 5 days, high-densities of cells consume 15% methane (corresponding to 143 ± 16 micromol of methane), and produce 10.3 mM acetate (corresponding to 52 ± 4 µmol of acetate) |
