S. 1998a Lifes third domain (Archaea): an established fact or an endangered paradigm? The term "Chemolithotrophy" refers to the gain of energy for cell biosynthesis and maintenance from the oxidation of inorganic compounds (= electron donors), in the absence of light (Kelly and Wood, 2006).The process was first described by the Russian microbiologist Sergej Winogradsky (1887, 1888).Chemolithotrophy is a strategy unique to some prokaryotes (i.e., Bacteria and Archaea), the . ), Mineral formation by bacteria in natural microbial communities, Microbes as geologic agents: their role in mineral formation, Micro-organisms and Earth Systems: Advances in Geomicrobiology, In search of a thermodynamic description of biomass yields for the chemotrophic growth of microorganisms, No soup for starters? chemolithotrophy, hydrogen oxidizers, hydrogenase, sulfur oxidizers, sulfite oxidase, nitrogen oxidizers, nitrification, iron oxidizers, chemolithoautotroph, reverse electron flow, chemolithoheterotroph, mixotroph, nitrogen fixation, diazotroph, nitrogenase, symbiotic nitrogen-fixing organisms, Rhizobium, legume, free-living nitrogen-fixing organisms, Cyanobacteria, heterocyst, assimilation, ammonia assimilation, assimilative nitrate reduction, denitrification, dissimilatory nitrate reduction, anammox, anaerobic ammonia oxidation, anammoxosome.

Plants, animals, and other organisms rely on bacteria and archaea to provide nitrogen in a fixed form, since no eukaryote is known that can fix nitrogen. Nitrogen fixation describes the conversion of the relatively inert dinitrogen gas (N2) into ammonia (NH3), a much more useable form of nitrogen for most life forms. A., Denend, A.

Soc. Sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are often considered one of the most dangerous groups for the conservation of stonework (chemolithotrophic) as they produce sulfuric acid, an inorganic acid that has a strong degrading action through the oxidation of hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur, and thiosulfates. Applied and Environmental Microbiology 32:567571. If the energy source consists of large chemicals that are complex in structure, as is the case when the chemicals are derived from once-living organisms, then it is the chemoautotrophic bacteria that utilize the source. 0000019448 00000 n Examples of these proteins include ironsulfur proteins, hemoglobin, and coordination complexes.
