59 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 13.11 Energetic and Redox Considerations Two mechanisms for catabolism of organic compounds: Respiration Exogenous electron acceptors are present to accept electrons generated from the oxidation of electron donors Fermentation Electron donor and acceptor are the same compound Relatively little energy yield

60 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 13.11 Energetic and Redox Considerations In the absence of external electron acceptors, compounds can be fermented (Figure 13.29) ATP is usually synthesized by substrate-level phosphorylation Energy-rich phosphate bonds from phosphorylated organic intermediates transferred to ADP Redox balance is achieved by production of fermentation products

61 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 13.29

62 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 13.11 Energetic and Redox Considerations Most fermentations require that organic intermediates contain an energy-rich phosphate bond or a molecule of coenzyme A In many fermentations, redox balance is maintained by the production of molecular hydrogen (H 2 ; Figure 13.30) H 2 production involves transfer of electrons from ferredoxin to H + by a hydrogenase

76 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 13.14 Fermentations Without Substrate-Level Phosphorylation Fermentations of certain compounds do not yield sufficient energy to synthesize ATP Catabolism of the compound can then be linked to ion pumps that establish a proton or sodium motive force Propionigenium modestum catabolizes succinate under strictly anoxic conditions (Figure 13.36a) Establishes a sodium motive force Sodium motive force forms ATP

89 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 13.17 Nitrate Reduction and Denitrification Inorganic nitrogen compounds are the most common electron acceptors in anaerobic respiration All products of nitrate reduction (denitrification) are gaseous (Figure 13.40) Denitrification is the main biological source of gaseous N 2

93 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 13.18 Sulfate and Sulfur Reduction Inorganic sulfur compounds can be used as electron acceptors in anaerobic respiration Reduction of SO 4 2– to H 2 S proceeds through several intermediates and requires activation of sulfate by ATP (Figure 13.42)

94 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 13.42

95 © 2015 Pearson Education, Inc. 13.18 Sulfate and Sulfur Reduction During sulfate reduction, electron transport reactions lead to proton motive force formation (Figure 13.43) This drives ATP synthesis by ATPase Many different compounds can serve as electron donors in sulfate reduction Examples: H 2, organic compounds, phosphite Some sulfur-reducing bacteria can gain additional energy through disproportionation of sulfur compounds
