Abstract:
The pathway of CO2 reduction to methane in Methanogenium tationis and Methanogenium thermophilicum is similar to that observed in other methanogens. In M. tationis a novel pterin, tatiopterin, is present. This pterin appears to be a structural and functional analog of methanopterin and sarcinapterin. Folate could not substitute for tatiopterin.
