Loss of hepatic SMLR1 causes hepatosteatosis and protects against atherosclerosis due to decreased hepatic VLDL secretion

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
The role of SMLR1 in lipid metabolism (high fat + cholesterol diet in mice) Abstract Background and Aims The assembly and secretion of VLDL from the liver, a pathway that affects hepatic and plasma lipids, remains incompletely understood. We set out to identify players in the VLDL biogenesis pathway by identifying genes that are co‐expressed with the ...

Potential interactions between syntrophic bacteria and methanogens via type IV pili and quorum-sensing systems

Environment International, 2020
Interspecies electron transfer plays an important role in syntrophic methanogenesis. Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between syntrophic oxidizers and methanogens via conductive pili has been only confirmed in some specific co-cultures.

Geobacter grbiciae—A New Electron Donor in the Formation of Co-Cultures via Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer

Microbiology Research, 2023
Geobacter grbiciae can grow via coupling oxidation of ethanol to the reduction of various forms of soluble Fe(III) and poorly crystalline Fe(III) oxide, suggesting that G.

Relating Anaerobic Digestion Microbial Community and Process Function [PDF]

, 2016
Anaerobic digestion (AD) involves a consortium of microorganisms that convert substrates into biogas containing methane for renewable energy. The technology has suffered from the perception of being periodically unstable due to limited understanding of ...

Characterization and modelling of interspecies electron transfer mechanisms and microbial community dynamics of a syntrophic association [PDF]

, 2013
Syntrophic associations are central to microbial communities and thus have a fundamental role in the global carbon cycle. Despite biochemical approaches describing the physiological activity of these communities, there has been a lack of a mechanistic ...

Carbon cloth stimulates direct interspecies electron transfer in syntrophic co-cultures [PDF]

Bioresource Technology, 2014
This study investigated the possibility that the electrical conductivity of carbon cloth accelerates direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) in co-cultures. Carbon cloth accelerated metabolism of DIET co-cultures (Geobacter metallireducens-Geobacter sulfurreducens and G.metallireducens-Methanosarcina barkeri) but did not promote metabolism of co ...

Genomic Insights into Syntrophic Lifestyle of ‘Candidatus Contubernalis alkaliaceticus’ Based on the Reversed Wood–Ljungdahl Pathway and Mechanism of Direct Electron Transfer

Life, 2023
The anaerobic oxidation of fatty acids and alcohols occurs near the thermodynamic limit of life. This process is driven by syntrophic bacteria that oxidize fatty acids and/or alcohols, their syntrophic partners that consume the products of this oxidation,

Promoting direct interspecies electron transfer with activated carbon

Energy & Environmental Science, 2012
Granular activated carbon (GAC) is added to methanogenic digesters to enhance conversion of wastes to methane, but the mechanism(s) for GAC's stimulatory effect are poorly understood. GAC has high electrical conductivity and thus it was hypothesized that one mechanism for GAC stimulation of methanogenesis might be to facilitate direct interspecies ...

Impact of Magnetite Nanoparticles Supplementation on the Anaerobic Digestion of Food Wastes: Batch and Continuous- Flow Investigations

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2016
Anaerobic digestion is one of the most attractive technologies for the treatment of industrial, civil and agricultural organic waste because of its capacity to reduce the biodegradable matter while recovering renewable energy in the form of methane ...
