Carbon nanotubes accelerate methane production in pure cultures of methanogens and in a syntrophic coculture [PDF]
, 2017 Carbon materials have been reported to facilitate direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between bacteria and methanogens improving methane production in anaerobic processes. In this work, the effect of increasing concentrations of carbon nanotubes

Cellular adhesiveness and cellulolytic capacity in Anaerolineae revealed by omics-based genome interpretation [PDF]
, 2016 The Anaerolineae lineage of Chloroflexi had been identified as one of the core microbial populations in anaerobic digesters; however, the ecological role of the Anaerolineae remains uncertain due to the scarcity of isolates and annotated genome sequences.

Reverse methanogenesis and respiration in methanotrophic archaea [PDF]
, 2017 Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is catalyzed by anaerobic methane-oxidizing archaea (ANME) via a reverse and modified methanogenesis pathway. Methanogens can also reverse the methanogenesis pathway to oxidize methane, but only during net methane ...
