An off-axis hydrothermal vent field near the mid-atlantic ridge at 30°n

- 01 Jan 2002
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the discovery of an extensive hydrothermal field at 30°N near the eastern intersection of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Atlantis fracture zone.The field is called Lost City and it is located on 1.5-Ma-old crust,nearly 15 km from the spreading axis.

Methanogenic archaea: ecologically relevant differences in energy conservation.
TL;DR: In methanogens with cytochromes, the first and last steps in methanogenesis from CO2 are coupled chemiosmotically, whereas in methenogens without cyto Chromes, these steps are energetically coupled by a cytoplasmic enzyme complex that mediates flavin-based electron bifurcation.

Experimental Models of Primitive Cellular Compartments: Encapsulation, Growth, and Division
TL;DR: It is reported that montmorillonite accelerates the spontaneous conversion of fatty acid micelles into vesicles, thus providing a pathway for the prebiotic encapsulation of catalytically active surfaces within membrane vesicle.

The emergence of life from iron monosulphide bubbles at a submarine hydrothermal redox and pH front

TL;DR: The hypothesis is that the FeS membrane, laced with nickel, acted as a semipermeable catalytic boundary between the two fluids, encouraging synthesis of organic anions by hydrogenation and carboxylation of hydrothermal organic primers, and led to the miniaturization of the metabolizing system.

Energy conservation via electron bifurcating ferredoxin reduction and proton/Na+ translocating ferredoxin oxidation
Wolfgang Buckel,Rudolf K. Thauer +1 more
TL;DR: Four flavin-containing cytoplasmatic multienzyme complexes from anaerobic bacteria and archaea that catalyze the reduction of the low potential ferredoxin by electron donors with higher potentials at ≤ 100 kPa are described.
