The positive effect of exogenous hemin on a resistance of strict anaerobic archaeon Methanobrevibacter arboriphilus to oxidative stresses.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Methanogenic archaeon Methanobrevibacter arboriphilus (strains AZ and DH1), which is a strict anaerobic microorganism not able to synthesize heme, possessed a very high catalase activity in the presence of 20-50 μM hemin in a growth medium. We investigated the effect of various oxidative stresses (hydrogen peroxide and oxygenation) on M. arboriphilus cells grown on the standard nutrient medium supplemented with 0.1 % yeast extract, and on the same medium supplemented with hemin. It was demonstrated that 30 μM hemin had a very significant positive effect on the resistance of M. arboriphilus strains to H(2)O(2) and O(2) stresses because of 30- to 40-fold increase of heme catalase activity. Thus, hydrogen peroxide (0.6-1.2 mM) or oxygen (3-5 %) had a strong negative impact on low-catalase cultures grown in the hemin-free standard medium, whereas the presence of 30 μM hemin in the medium results in a high yield of biomass even under conditions of four times stronger H(2)O(2) and two times stronger O(2) stresses. The intracellular catalase activity reached a high level in 30-60 min after hemin was added to the nutrient medium, but the activity already increased about 5-7-fold in 6 min after hemin addition. Our experimental data suggest that exogenous hemin provides an effective antioxidative defense in representatives of the genus Methanobrevibacter, specially playing an important role in the puromycin-insensitive formation of the active heme-containing catalase from presynthesized apoenzyme and heme.
