Carbon allocation in wild-type and Glc+ Rhodobacter sphaeroides under photoheterotrophic conditions.

Abstract:

:The photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides is capable of producing H2 via nitrogenase when grown photoheterotrophically in the absence of N2. By using 14C-labeled malate, it was found that greater than 95% of this substrate was catabolized completely to CO2 during H2 production. About 60% of this catabolism was associated with H2 biosynthesis, while almost 40% provided reductant for other cellular purposes. Thus, only a small fraction of malate provided carbon skeletons. The addition of ammonium, which inhibited nitrogenase activity, increased substrate conversion into carbon skeletons threefold. Catabolism of malate occurred primarily via the tricarboxylic acid cycle, but gluconeogenesis was also observed. The wild-type organism grew poorly on glucose, accumulated gluconate and 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate, and did not produce H2. More than 50% of metabolized glucose appeared in carbon skeletons or in storage compounds. A glucose-utilizing mutant was five times more effective in utilizing this substrate. This mutant produced H2 from glucose, using 74% of metabolized substrate for this purpose. Glucose converted to storage products or to other carbon skeletons was reduced to 8%. Fixation of CO2 competed directly with H2 production for reducing equivalents and ATP. Refixation of CO2 released from these substrates under H2-producing conditions was, at most, 10 to 12%. Addition of ammonium increased refixation of respired CO2 to 83%. Patterns of carbon flow of fixation products were associated with the particular strains and culture conditions.
