Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In the reaction of H2 with CO2 under conditions relevant for microbes, the equilibrium lies on the side of reduced carbon compounds, allowing acetogens and methanogens to grow from reactions with ΔG°′ = -104.6 kJ mol−1 and -131 kJ mol−1 as their sole source of energy.

    “Such findings are broadly consistent with the findings of Thauer et al. [39] that under conditions relevant for microbes, in the reaction of H2 with CO2, the equilibrium lies on the side of reduced carbon compounds, which is why acetogens can grow from the reaction2.3with ΔG°′ = –104.6 kJ mol−1 [39] and methanogens can grow from the reaction2.4with ΔG°′ = –131 kJ mol−1 [40] as their sole source of”

  • For Moorella, HdrABC homologues are encoded directly next to the gene for methylene-H4F reductase, which catalyses a very exergonic reaction and was therefore once suggested as a coupling site for energy conservation.

  • Ethanol production from CO is thermodynamically favorable over CO2.

    “Additionally, ethanol production from CO is thermodynamically favorable over CO2 (Reactions 1-4; the free energy (ΔG°') of Reactions 1–4 was calculated from data given in Thauer et al. (1977)).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
