The paper, titled "Simultaneous aerobic and anaerobic respiration in hot spring chemolithotrophic bacteria," is published in ...

Some bacteria and fungi such as yeast complete their own version of anaerobic respiration called fermentation. This is the equation: glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide Yeast undergoes ...

Interestingly, these bacterial species use ubiquinone for aerobic respiration and naphthoquinone for anaerobic respiration. Bacterial species devoid of ubiquinone, such as Staphylococcus aureus ...

This will lead to a better understanding of aerobic/anaerobic respiration switching and the link between antibiotic tolerance and free radicals. The bacteria in our intestinal tract play many ...

The paper, published January 4, 2024, in Nature Microbiology, identified 22 metabolites that three distantly related families of gut bacteria use as alternatives to oxygen for respiration in the ...

This process, known as extracellular respiration, mimics how batteries discharge electric current, enabling bacteria to thrive ... transfer (EET), supporting anaerobic survival.

The secrets of anaerobic bacteria have long remained a mystery, but a newly issued grant could release a new wave of insights from these elusive microbes. A team of researchers led by Christian ...
