Lecture
This lecture covers metabolic diversity, focusing on methane cycling and acetogenesis. It explains the energy generation by methanotrophy, the pathways for carbon assimilation by methanotrophs, and the key enzymes involved in these processes. Additionally, it discusses the competition between acetogenesis and methanogenesis, the role of acetogens in the acetyl-coA pathway, and the different electron donors used in strictly anaerobic conditions.
