摘要
F-420-reducing hydrogenases are nickel iron-sulfur flavoproteins involved in CO2 reduction with H-2 to methane in methanogenic archaea. Evidence is presented that Methanosarcina barkeri contains two isoenzymes for which the encoding genes have been cloned and sequenced. The genes are organized in two operons, frhADGB and freAEGB, each comprising four open reading frames. Transcription analysis revealed that both operons are transcribed during growth of Ms. barkeri on H-2/CO2, on methanol, and on trimethylamine, but not during growth on acetate.
