Journal Article
Little, G. T., Ehsaan, M., Arenas-López, C., Jawed, K., Winzer, K., Kovacs, K., & Minton, N. P. (2019). A complete genome sequence of Cupriavidus necator H16 (DSM 428). Microbiology Resource Announcements, 8(37), 1-2. https://doi.org/10.1128/MRA.00814-19

The hydrogen-utilizing strain Cupriavidus necator H16 (DSM 428) was sequenced using a combination of PacBio and Illumina sequencing. Annotation of this strain reveals 6,543 protein-coding genes, 263 pseudogenes, 64 tRNA genes, and 15 rRNA genes.

The carbonic anhydrase of Clostridium autoethanogenum represents a new subclass of β-carbonic anhydrases (2019)
Journal Article
Pander, B., Harris, G., Scott, D. J., Winzer, K., Köpke, M., Simpson, S. D., …Henstra, A. M. (2019). The carbonic anhydrase of Clostridium autoethanogenum represents a new subclass of β-carbonic anhydrases. Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 103(17), 7275-7286. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00253-019-10015-w

Carbonic anhydrase catalyses the interconversion of carbon dioxide and water to bicarbonate and protons. It was unknown if the industrial relevant acetogen Clostridium autoethanogenum possesses these enzymes. We identified two putative carbonic anhyd...
