additional information reduced ferredoxin cannot be the physiological electron donor in vivo, since growth by acetogenesis from H2 + CO2 has a negative ATP yield. Reduced methyl viologen is used as electron donor for following the MVred:methylene-THF oxidoreductase activity during the purification procedure. With ethanol as product and Fdred as electron donor for the MetVF-type MTHFR, the ATP yield becomes slightly positive (0.14 ATP/ethanol). But since only minor amounts of ethanol are produced, this does not result in an overall positive ATP yield Clostridium ljungdahlii ?

Cofactor

Cofactor Comment Organism Structure
Ferredoxin the dimer consisting of two of MetVF heterodimers contains 1.87 mol FMN per mol dimeric heterodimer. Reduced ferredoxin cannot be the physiological electron donor in vivo, since growth by acetogenesis from H2 + CO2 has a negative ATP yield Clostridium ljungdahlii
additional information NADH and NADPH are not used as electron donor. MTHFR is able to use artificial electron donors for the reduction of methylene-THF Clostridium ljungdahlii

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism type I- and III-MTHFRs are neither involved directly (as terminal electron acceptor) nor indirectly (by producing the fuel for the respiratory enzymes, reduced ferredoxin, by electron bifurcation) in energy conservation. Type IV-MTHFR may be coupled to energy conservation, either directly or indirectly. Modeling of cofactor dependence of enzyme MTHFR, detailed overview Clostridium ljungdahlii
