Archaeoglobus lithotrophicus is a hyperthermophilic Archaeon that grows on H-2 and sulfate as energy sources and CO2 as sole carbon source. The autotrophic sulfate reducer was shown to contain all the enzyme activities and coenzymes of the reductive carbon monoxide dehydrogenase pathway for autotrophic CO2 fixation as operative in methanogenic Archaea. With the exception of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase these enzymes and coenzymes were also found in A. profundus. This organism grows lithotrophically on H-2 and sulfate, but differs from A. lithotrophicus in that it cannot grow autotrophically: A. profundus requires acetate and CO2 for biosynthesis. The absence of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase in A. profundus is substantiated by the observation that this organism, in contrast to A. lithotrophicus, is not mini-methanogenic and contains only relatively low concentrations of corrinoids.
