Energy Conservation via Hydrogen Cycling in the Methanogenic Archaeon Methanosarcina barkeri

Energy conservation via hydrogen cycling, which generates proton motive force by intracellular H2 production coupled to extracellular consumption, has been controversial since it was first proposed in 1981. It was hypothesized that the methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina barkeri is capable of energ...
