摘要

The anaerobic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus grows by fermenting carbohydrates producing H_2, CO_2, and acetate. We show here that it is surprisingly tolerant to oxygen, growing well in the presence of 8% (vol/vol) O_2. Although cell growth and acetate production were not significantly affected by O_2, H_2 production was reduced by 50% (using 8% O_2). The amount of H_2 produced decreased in a linear manner with increasing concentrations of O_2 over the range 2-12% (vol/vol), and for each mole of O_2 consumed, the amount of H_2 produced decreased by approximately 2 mol. The recycling of H_2 by the two cytoplasmic hydrogenases appeared not to play a role in O_2 resistance because a mutant strain lacking both enzymes was not more sensitive to O_2 than the parent strain. Decreased H_2 production was also not due to inactivation of the H_2-producing, ferredoxin-dependent membrane-bound hydrogenase because its activity was unaffected by O_2 exposure. Electrons from carbohydrate oxidation must therefore be diverted to relieve O_2 stress at the level of reduced ferredoxin before H_2 production. Deletion strains lacking superoxide reductase (SOR) and putative flavo-diiron protein A showed increased sensitivity to O_2, indicating that these enzymes play primary roles in resisting O_2. However, a mutant strain lacking the proposed electron donor to SOR, rubre-doxin, was unaffected in response to O_2. Hence, electrons from sugar oxidation normally used to produce H_2 are diverted to O_2 detoxification by SOR and putative flavodiiron protein A, but the electron flow pathway from ferredoxin does not necessarily involve rubredoxin.
