Conductive material engineered direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) in anaerobic digestion: Mechanism and application

Environmental Technology & Innovation, 2020
Abstract Biological syntrophy can be defined as a nutritional condition where various syntrophic microorganisms mutually synergize their metabolic activities to break down complex organic substrates that cannot be otherwise catabolized by either individually.

A Review on the Interspecies Electron Transfer of Methane Production in Anaerobic Digestion System

Fermentation, 2023
Anaerobic methanogenesis plays an important role in the sustainable management of high concentration organic wastewater and bioenergy recovery. Interspecies electron transfer (IET) is a new type of mutualistic symbiosis that can accelerate microbial ...

Detrimental impact of the Geobacter metallireducens type VI secretion system on direct interspecies electron transfer

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is important in anaerobic communities of environmental and practical significance. Other than the need for close physical contact for electrical connections, the interactions of DIET partners are poorly ...

Enhanced Anaerobic Digestion Using Conductive Materials through Mediation of Direct Microbial Interspecies Electron Transfer: A Review

Fermentation, 2023
The anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic matter is susceptible to the challenges posed by low-speed electron transfer between microorganisms and the limitation of low hydrogen partial pressure, resulting in low methane recovery efficiency and poor system ...

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 ...

Methane production by Methanothrix thermoacetophila via direct interspecies electron transfer with Geobacter metallireducens

mBio, 2023
Methanothrix is widely distributed in natural and artificial anoxic environments and plays a major role in global methane emissions. It is one of only two genera that can form methane from acetate dismutation and through participation in direct ...

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.

Theoretical characterisation of electron tunnelling from granular activated carbon to electron accepting organisms in direct interspecies electron transfer

Scientific Reports, 2022
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) has been identified as an efficient metabolism between symbiotically interacting organisms. One method of DIET uses conductive materials (e.g., granular activated carbon (GAC)) as a medium to shuttle electrons
