Molecular hydrogen is an overlooked energy source for marine bacteria

R. Lappan, G. Shelley, Z. F. Islam, P. M. Leung, S. Lockwood, P. A. Nauer, T. Jirapanjawat, Y.-J. Chen, A. J. Kessler, T. J. Williams, R. Cavicchioli, F. Baltar, P. L. M. Cook, S. E. Morales, C. Greening

This study shows marine bacteria consume molecular hydrogen as an energy source, with H2 oxidation more active in subantarctic waters and supported by genomic and experimental evidence.

A widely distributed hydrogenase oxidises atmospheric H2 during bacterial growth

Z. F. Islam, C. Welsh, K. Bayly, R. Grinter, G. Southam, E. J. Gagen, C. Greening

This study investigates the role of group 2a [NiFe]-hydrogenase in three bacterial species, finding it supports aerobic H2 oxidation during growth and is widely distributed across 13 bacterial phyla.

Carbon monoxide dehydrogenases enhance bacterial survival by oxidising atmospheric CO

P. R. F. Cordero, K. Bayly, P. M. Leung, C. Huang, Z. F. Islam, R. B. Schittenhelm, G. M. King, C. Greening

This study shows that carbon monoxide dehydrogenases enhance bacterial survival by providing a supplemental energy source during organic carbon starvation.

Two Chloroflexi classes independently evolved the ability to persist on atmospheric hydrogen and carbon monoxide

Z. F. Islam, P. R. F. Cordero, J. Feng, Y.-J. Chen, S. Bay, R. M. Gleadow, T. Jirapanjawat, C. R. Carere, M. B. Stott, E. Chiri, C. Greening

This study shows two Chloroflexi classes can persist using atmospheric hydrogen and carbon monoxide as energy sources through horizontal gene transfer.
