This document discusses different pathways that chemolithotrophic prokaryotes use to fix inorganic carbon during metabolism. The most common pathway is the Calvin cycle, which fixes carbon dioxide into 3-phosphoglycerate. Some bacteria use the reductive tricarboxylic acid cycle or the acetyl-CoA pathway. The reductive TCA cycle operates in reverse using different enzymes than the forward cycle. The acetyl-CoA pathway reduces carbon dioxide to formate and then to acetyl-CoA. These pathways allow chemolithotrophs to use inorganic compounds as energy sources and carbon dioxide as their carbon source.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Introduction
• Some prokaryotes grow by using reduced inorganic
compounds as their energy source and CO2 as the carbon
source. These are called chemolithotrophs.
• The electron donors used by chemolithotrophs include
nitrogen and sulfur compounds, Fe(II), H2, and CO.
• The Calvin cycle is the most common CO2 fixation
mechanism, and the reductive TCA cycle, acetyl-CoA
pathway and 3-ydroxypropionate cycle are found in
some Chemolithotrophic prokaryotes.
• Some can use organic compounds as their carbon source
while metabolizing an inorganic electron donor.
• This kind of bacterial metabolism is referred to as
mixotrophy.

cycle
Rare Aerobic chemolithotrophs
and photolithotrophs (01%)
4. • The Calvin cycle is the most common CO2
fixation pathway in aerobic chemolithotrophs
and in photolithotrophs, and some fix CO2
through the reductive TCA cycle.
• The anaerobic chemolithotrophs, including
methanogens, homoacetogens and
sulfidogens, employ the acetyl-CoA pathway
to fix CO2.
• A fourth CO2 fixation pathway, the 3-
hydroxypropionate cycle, is known in some
chemo- and photolithotrophs.
• The Calvin cycle is the only known CO2-fixing
metabolism in eukaryotes.
5. CALVIN CYCLE
• The Calvin cycle, elucidated by American
biochemist Melvin Calvin, is the most widely
distributed pathway, operating in plants,
algae, photosynthetic bacteria, and most
aerobic lithoautotrophic bacteria.
6. • CO2 is condensed to ribulose-1,5-
bisphosphate to produce two molecules of 3-
phosphoglycerate.
7. • The molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate, then
reduced to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
8. • A molecule of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is
isomerized to dihydroxyacetone phosphate.
• Dihydroxyacetone phosphate then
condensed with second glyceraldehyde-3-
phosphate molecule through the reverse
reactions of the EMP pathway to fructose-
1,6- diphosphate.
• Fructose-1,6- diphosphate is
dephosphorylated to fructose-6-phosphate
by the action of fructose-1,6-diphosphatase
10. • Through carbon rearrangement two molecules
of fructose-6-phosphate (2 x C6) and six
molecules of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (6 x
C3) are converted to six molecules of ribulose-
5-phosphate (6 x C5).
• Ribulose-5-phosphate then phosphorylated
to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate to begin the next
round of reactions.
13. Key enzymes of Calvin cycle
• Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase and
phosphoribulokinase are key enzymes of the
Calvin cycle, and are present only in the
organisms fixing CO2 through this highly
energy-demanding pathway.
• Their activities are controlled at the
transcriptional level and also after they are
expressed.
• The enzymes are encoded by cbb genes
organized in cbb operons
14. • CbbR is a transcriptional regulator and the key
activator protein of cbb operons.
• The cbbR gene is located adjacent to its
cognate operon.
• Phosphoenolpyruvate is a negative effector of
CbbR, whereas NADPH is a coactivator of the
protein.
15. • Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase is the
most abundant single protein on Earth and is
synthesized by all organisms fixing CO2
through the Calvin cycle including plants.
• Two forms: Type I- Most common, consist of 8
large and 8 small subunits – form
hexadecameric structure- widely distributed in
CO2 fixing organisms.
• Type-II – consist only large subunits (2, 4 or 8)-
found in anaerobic organism.
16. Reductive TCA cycle
• The bacterium does not have enzymes of the
Calvin cycle, and fixes CO2 through the
reductive TCA cycle.
• This CO2-fixing metabolism shares TCA cycle
enzymes that catalyze the reverse reactions.
• Irreverse reactions are replaced by another set
of enzymes.
17.
18. • Some bacteria and archaea reduce CO2 to
acetyl-CoA in the reverse direction of the TCA
cycle.
• The TCA cycle enzymes unable to catalyze the
reverse reaction, i.e. citrate synthase, 2-
ketoglutarate dehydrogenase and succinate
dehydrogenase, are replaced by ATP:citrate
lyase (8), 2-ketoglutarate synthase (5) and
fumarate reductase (3).
19. • Acetyl-CoA is reduced to pyruvate by
pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase.
• Pyruvate converted to PEP by the action of
PEP synthetase.
20. Co2 fixation through the acetyl CoA
pathway
• This pathway is employed for co2 fixation by
anaerobic chemolithotrophs, including
sulfidogens, methanogens and
homoacetogens.
21.
22. • 1. CO2 is reduced to formate by – formate
dehydrogenase
• 2. Formate is bound to tetrahydrofolate (H4F)
and form formyl with help of enzyme formyl-
H4F synthatase followed by reduced to
methenyl---methylele---methyl formate.
• This methyl group is transferred to coenzyme
B12 (corrinoid).
• Simillarly- second CO2 is reduced to CO
(carbon monoxide) by – carbon monoxide
dehydrogenase (CODH).
23. • This CO is enzyme bound and with help of CO-
dehyderogenase, it form acetyl-CoA with
involving methyl group from coenzyme B12.
• CODH is duel function enzyme catalyzing CO
oxidation and reduction and acetyl CoA
synthesis/cleavage.
