Thermoanaerobacter brockii fermented serine to acetate and ethanol. It oxidized leucine to isovalerate, isoleucine to 2-methylbutyrate, and valine to isobutyrate only in the presence of thiosulfate, or when co-cultured with Methanobacterium sp. This oxidative deamination was rendered thermodynamically possible by the ability ofT. brockii to reduce thiosulfate to sulfide or the transfer of reducing equivalents to the hydrogenotrophic methanogen. The results suggest that T. brockii may be of ecological significance in thermal environments in the turnover of amino acids, especially with thiosulfate or H(2)-utilizing methanogens are present.
