| Abstract | Electrochemical reactors can be used to deliver electrons to bacteria with soluble, redox-active shuttles, and this has been proposed for both biosynthetic and bioremediation purposes. In the case of perchlorate reduction in bioelectrical reactors, very little is known about the mechanism of shuttle oxidation, although this understanding is important for treatment system design and scaleup. In this work, electrochemical, physiological, and proteomic experiments were performed to investigate anthrahydroquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AH2DS) oxidation by Azospira suillum PS under perchlorate reducing conditions. In inoculated bioelectrical reactors with AH2DS as the sole electron donor, only small amounts of cathodic current were observed. However, acetate addition resulted in a rapid increase in cathodic current, concomitant with acetate oxidation. This effect was not seen with nitrate as the terminal electron acceptor or when cells were lysed. We hypothesized that co-utilization of electron donors was a result of normal organotrophic perchlorate reduction, in addition to non-enzymatic reactions between AH2DS and intermediates (chlorite, oxygen) of the pathway. These reactions are expected to result in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and toxicity, which was confirmed in batch growth experiments. Shotgun proteomics revealed significantly increased tandem spectral peptide counts of a diheme c-type cytochrome peroxidase; again, only when perchlorate, acetate, and AH2DS were present. Homologs of this protein relieve oxidative stress by reducing hydrogen peroxide to water. This work highlights the fact that oxidation of inorganic electron donors can occur non-enzymatically, as well as the challenge of targeting a specific metabolism with chemical shuttles that are highly reactive. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
