Der zugrundeliegende, komplexe biologische Prozess wird noch immer unzureichend verstanden und bedarf systematischer Untersuchungen der Prozessparameter, um einen hohen Ertrag bei guter Gasqualit{\"a}t zu erm{\"o}glichen. Die Fragestellungen zur Entschl{\"u}sselung des Prozesses sind sowohl verfahrenstechnischer als auch mikrobiologischer Natur. Aus mikrobiologischer Sicht ist die Kenntnis der tats{\"a}chlich beteiligten prozesstragenden Mikroorganismen von erheblicher Bedeutung, aus verfahrenstechnischer Sicht die Kenntnis der physikalischen und chemischen Faktoren, welche die mikrobiologischen Prozesse und kontrollieren. Im Zusammenspiel aller dieser Parameter wird die Biogasbildung bef{\"o}rdert oder behindert, bis zum Abbruch des Prozesses. Eine m{\"o}gliche Kontrollmethode ist die Messung der metabolischen Aktivit{\"a}t prozesstragender Organismen. Diese soll, beruhend auf fundierten Prozessdaten, gewonnen durch eine Parallelanlage, mit einem lichtadressierbaren potentiometrischen Sensor-System (LAPS) realisiert werden. Dieser Sensor ist in der Lage, pH-Wert-{\"a}nderungen zu detektieren, die durch den Stoffwechsel der auf dem Chip immobilisierten Organismen hervorgerufen werden, um eine Online-{\"U}berwachung von Biogasanlagen zu erm{\"o}glichen.}, language = {de} } @article{SelmerJennemannBaueretal.1999, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Jennemann, Richard and Bauer, Bernhard L. and Bertalanffy, Helmut}, title = {Novel glycoinositolphosphosphingolipids, basidiolipids, from Agaricus / Jennemann, Richard ; Bauer, Bernhard, L. ; Bertalanffy, Helmut ; Geyer, Rudolf ; Gschwind, Ruth, M. ; Selmer, Thorsten ; Wiegandt, Herbert}, series = {European Journal of Biochemistry. 259 (1999), H. 1-2}, journal = {European Journal of Biochemistry. 259 (1999), H. 1-2}, isbn = {0014-2956}, pages = {331 -- 338}, year = {1999}, language = {en} } @article{SelmerHallmannSchmidtetal.1996, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Hallmann, Armin and Schmidt, Bernhard and Sumper, Manfred}, title = {The Evolutionary Conservation of a Novel Protein Modification, the Conversion of Cysteine to Serinesemialdehyde in Arylsulfatase from Volvox carteri / Selmer, Thorsten ; Hallmann, Armin ; Schmidt, Bernhard ; Sumper, Manfred ; Figura, Kurt von}, series = {European Journal of Biochemistry. 238 (1996), H. 2}, journal = {European Journal of Biochemistry. 238 (1996), H. 2}, isbn = {0014-2956}, pages = {341 -- 345}, year = {1996}, language = {en} } @article{SelmerScottNaeseretal.2004, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Scott, Richard and N{\"a}ser, Ulrike and Friedrich, Peter}, title = {Stereochemistry of hydrogen removal from the 'unactivated' C-3 position of 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA catalysed by 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydratase / Scott, R. ; N{\"a}ser, U. ; Friedrich, P. ; Selmer, T. ; Buckel, W. ; Golding, BT.}, series = {Chemical Communications : ChemCom (2004)}, journal = {Chemical Communications : ChemCom (2004)}, isbn = {1364-548X}, pages = {1210 -- 1211}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @article{SelmerThamerCirpusetal.2003, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Thamer, Wiebke and Cirpus, Irina and Hans, Marcus}, title = {A two [4Fe-4S]-cluster-containing ferredoxin as an alternative electron donor for 2-hydroxyglutaryl-CoA dehydratase from Acidaminococcus fermentans / Thamer, Wiebke ; Cirpus, Irina ; Hans, Marcus ; Pierik, Antonio, J. ; Selmer, Thorsten ; Bill, Eckhard ;}, series = {Archives of Microbiology. 179 (2003), H. 3}, journal = {Archives of Microbiology. 179 (2003), H. 3}, isbn = {1432-072X}, pages = {197 -- 204}, year = {2003}, language = {en} } @article{SelmerNetzPohletal.2002, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Netz, Daili Jacqueline Aguilar and Pohl, Regula and Beck-Sickinger, Annette G.}, title = {Biochemical characterisation and genetic analysis of aureocin A53, a new, atypical bacteriocin from Staphylococcus aureus / Netz, Daili Jacqueline Aguilar ; Pohl, Regula ; Beck-Sickinger, Annette G. ; Selmer, Thorsten ; Pierik, Antonio J. ; Carmo de Frei}, series = {Journal of Molecular Biology. 319 (2002), H. 3}, journal = {Journal of Molecular Biology. 319 (2002), H. 3}, isbn = {0022-2836}, pages = {745 -- 756}, year = {2002}, language = {en} } @article{SelmerSchmidtIngendohetal.1995, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Schmidt, Bernhard and Ingendoh, Arnd and Figura, Kurt von}, title = {A novel amino acid modification in sulfatases that is defective in multiple sulfatase deficiency / Schmidt, Bernhard ; Selmer, Thorsten ; Ingendoh, Arnd ; Figurat, Kurt von}, series = {Cell. 82 (1995), H. 2}, journal = {Cell. 82 (1995), H. 2}, isbn = {0092-8674}, pages = {271 -- 278}, year = {1995}, language = {en} } @article{SelmerKahntGoubeaudetal.2000, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Kahnt, J{\"o}rg and Goubeaud, Marcel and Shima, Seigo}, title = {The biosynthesis of methylated amino acids in the active site region of methyl-coenzyme M reductase / Selmer, Thorsten ; Kahnt, J{\"o}rg ; Goubeaud, Marcel ; Shima, Seigo ; Grabarse, Wolfgang ; Ermler, Ulrich ; Thauer, Rudolf K.}, series = {Journal of Biological Chemistry. 275 (2000), H. 6}, journal = {Journal of Biological Chemistry. 275 (2000), H. 6}, isbn = {1083-351X}, pages = {3775 -- 3760}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @article{SelmerBrueserDahl2000, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Br{\"u}ser, Thomas and Dahl, Christiane}, title = {ADP Sulfurylase" from Thiobacillus denitrificans Is an Adenylylsulfate:Phosphate Adenylyltransferase and Belongs to a New Family of Nucleotidyltransferases / Br{\"u}ser, Thomas ; Selmer, Thorsten ; Dahl, Christiane}, series = {Journal of Biological Chemistry. 275 (2000), H. 3}, journal = {Journal of Biological Chemistry. 275 (2000), H. 3}, isbn = {1083-351X}, pages = {1691 -- 1690}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @article{SelmerBuckel1999, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Buckel, Wolfgang}, title = {Oxygen Exchange between Acetate and the Catalytic Glutamate Residue in Glutaconate CoA-transferase from Acidaminococcus fermentans.

The first step in the fermentation is a CoA-transfer to β-alanine. Subsequently, the resulting β-alanyl-CoA is deaminated by the enzyme β-alanyl-CoA:ammonia lyase (Acl) to reversibly form ammonia and acrylyl-CoA. We have determined the crystal structure of Acl in its apo-form at a resolution of 0.97 {\AA} as well as in complex with CoA at a resolution of 1.59 {\AA}. The structures reveal that the enyzme belongs to a superfamily of proteins exhibiting a so called "hot dog fold" which is characterized by a five-stranded antiparallel β-sheet with a long α-helix packed against it. The functional unit of all "hot dog fold" proteins is a homodimer containing two equivalent substrate binding sites which are established by the dimer interface. In the case of Acl, three functional dimers combine to a homohexamer strongly resembling the homohexamer formed by YciA-like acyl-CoA thioesterases. Here, we propose an enzymatic mechanism based on the crystal structure of the Acl·CoA complex and molecular docking.

The stepwise expansion of the malate platform with the enzymes fumarate hydratase (FH, EC 4.2.1.2) and aspartate ammonia-lyase (ASPA, EC 4.3.1.1) resulted in multi-enzyme reaction cascades and, thus, augmentation of the substrate spectrum of the sensors. Electrochemical measurements were carried out in presence of the cofactor β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and the redox mediator hexacyanoferrate (III) (HCFIII). The amperometric detection is mediated by oxidation of hexacyanoferrate (II) (HCFII) at an applied potential of + 0.3 V vs. Ag/AgCl. For each biosensor, optimum working conditions were defined by adjustment of cofactor concentrations, buffer pH, and immobilization procedure. Under these improved conditions, amperometric responses were linear up to 3.0 mM for L-malate and fumarate, respectively, with a corresponding sensitivity of 0.7 μA mM-1 (L-malate biosensor) and 0.4 μA mM-1 (fumarate biosensor).
