Syntrophus aciditrophicus is a syntrophic bacterium that plays a key role in anaerobic environments by degrading organic compounds into simpler substances like acetate, carbon dioxide, formate, and hydrogen. These products are then utilized by methanogenic archaea to produce methane . The bacterium's ability to thrive in low-energy environments is partly due to its efficient energy conservation mechanisms, such as the use of pyrophosphate-dependent ATP formation from acetyl-CoA .
ATP synthase is an enzyme complex that utilizes the proton gradient across cell membranes to synthesize ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. Subunit c is a critical component of this complex, involved in the proton translocation process that drives ATP synthesis . While the general function of subunit c is well understood, specific details about the recombinant version from S. aciditrophicus are not readily available in the literature.
Currently, there is no specific data or tables available for the recombinant Syntrophus aciditrophicus ATP synthase subunit c (atpE). The information on S. aciditrophicus generally focuses on its metabolic pathways and unique energy conservation mechanisms rather than detailed biochemical characteristics of specific recombinant proteins.
