iodate respiration

traitmech:000203 · CLASS · PROPOSED

An anaerobic respiration in which an organism uses iodate as the terminal electron acceptor for energy conservation.

Trait evidence (4)

  • DOI:10.1128/AEM.00241-07
    SCT was capable of anaerobic growth with 3 mM iodate as the sole electron acceptor

    Amachi et al. isolated Pseudomonas sp. strain SCT from marine sediment slurry and showed anaerobic growth with iodate as sole electron acceptor.

  • DOI:10.1128/AEM.00241-07
    SCT is a dissimilatory iodate-reducing bacterium

    Amachi et al. support the dissimilatory iodate reduction synonym and organism-level phenotype scope.

  • DOI:10.1038/s41396-021-01034-5
    dissimilatory IO3− reduction to iodide (I−) by a novel estuarine bacterium, Denitromonas sp. IR-12

    Reyes-Umana et al. show that iodate respiration recurs in an estuarine Denitromonas isolate.

  • DOI:10.3389/fmicb.2021.804181
    A. toluclasticum sp. TC-10 couples acetate oxidation to iodate reduction with a concomitant increase in the OD600.

    Reyes-Umana et al. extend the dissimilatory iodate-reducing phenotype to the freshwater isolate Aromatoleum toluclasticum sp. TC-10.

CURATION TODO OPEN iodate-respiration-xref-gap · raised by codex · 2026-09-15

Not yet attached to a section of this record — a curator sets attaches_to (e.g. causal_graphs#some_edge) so the gap shows beside the mechanism it concerns.

Candidate Idr, DmsAB, EC, Rhea, and protein-family terms describe narrower iodate reductase activities, reactions, or enzymes rather than the whole-organism anaerobic respiration phenotype.

Curation history

  1. · MINTED_TRAITMECH_ID · codex

    Minted iodate respiration as a DOI-backed anaerobic respiration TraitRecord after a repository-wide duplicate review covering ignored and hidden files; the local METPO snapshot has no exact iodate respiration class and the replacement placeholder is reserved in proposals/metpo_traitmech_v80.
