application
Ammonium 2-(methylthio)ethanesulfonate (Methyl coenzyme M) is converted into methane by the enzyme Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) derived from methanogenic archaea. Methy-coenzyme M is used in studies on methanogenic (methane-producing) enzymatic processes.

Inactive 2-(methylthio)ethanesulfonic acid (CH3-S-CoM) reductase was partially activated by exposure to light. This simplified system replaces the complex enzymatic system of protein components A2, A3a, A3b, and ATP, which previously represented the only available means of reactivating the enzyme. Components

Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) catalyses the methane-forming step in the energy metabolism of methanogenic Archaea. It brings about the reduction of methyl-coenzyme M (CH3-S-CoM) by 7-mercaptoheptanoylthreonine phosphate (H-S-HTP). Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum contains two isoenzymes of MCR, designated MCR I and MCR

Lake Pavin is a meromictic crater lake located in the French Massif Central area. In this ecosystem, most methane (CH(4)) produced in high quantity in the anoxic bottom layers, and especially in sediments, is consumed in the water column, with

When titanium(III) citrate was used as electron donor for the reduction of methyl coenzyme M by the methyl coenzyme M methylreductase system of Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum delta H, component A1 was no longer required. The simpler system thus obtained required components

Large amounts (estimates range from 70 Tg per year to 300 Tg per year) of the potent greenhouse gas methane are oxidized to carbon dioxide in marine sediments by communities of methanotrophic archaea and sulphate-reducing bacteria, and thus are prevented
