Proteome adaptations of the organohalide-respiring Desulfitobacterium hafniense strain DCB-2 to various energy metabolisms.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Desulfitobacterium hafniense was isolated for its ability to use organohalogens as terminal electron acceptors via organohalide respiration (OHR). In contrast to obligate OHR bacteria, Desulfitobacterium spp. show a highly versatile energy metabolism with the capacity to use different electron donors and acceptors and to grow fermentatively. Desulfitobacterium genomes display numerous and apparently redundant members of redox enzyme families which confirm their metabolic potential. Nonetheless, the enzymes responsible for many metabolic traits are not yet identified.

Methods

In the present work, we conducted an extended proteomic study by comparing the proteomes of Desulfitobacterium hafniense strain DCB-2 cultivated in combina
