Analysis of Mechanisms for Electron Uptake by <i>Methanothrix harundinacea</i> 6Ac During Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is a syntrophic metabolism wherein free electrons are directly transferred between microorganisms without the mediation of intermediates such as molecular hydrogen or formate.

Link Between Capacity for Current Production and Syntrophic Growth in Geobacter species

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Electrodes are unnatural electron acceptors, and it is yet unknown how some Geobacter species evolved to use electrodes as terminal electron acceptors.

Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer between Geobacter metallireducens and Methanosarcina barkeri

, 2014
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is potentially an effective form of syntrophy in methanogenic communities, but little is known about the diversity of methanogens capable of DIET.

Promoting direct interspecies electron transfer with activated carbon

, 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

Transcriptomic and Genetic Analysis of Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer

, 2013
The possibility that metatranscriptomic analysis could distinguish between direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) and H-2 interspecies transfer (HIT) in anaerobic communities was investigated by comparing gene transcript abundance in cocultures in ...

Mechanisms for Electron Uptake by Methanosarcina acetivorans during Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer

, 2021
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between bacteria and methanogenic archaea appears to be an important syntrophy in both natural and engineered methanogenic environments.

Syntrophic Microorganisms Interactions in Anaerobic Digestion (AD): a Critical Review in the Light of Increase Energy Production

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2018
Despite the worldwide growth of Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plants able to produce biogas, further investigations on the cooperation of syntrophic organisms within mixed cultures are necessary.

Interspecies Electron Transfer via Hydrogen and Formate Rather than Direct Electrical Connections in Cocultures of Pelobacter carbinolicus and Geobacter sulfurreducens

, 2012
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is an alternative to interspecies H-2/formate transfer as a mechanism for microbial species to cooperatively exchange electrons during syntrophic metabolism.

Necessity of electrically conductive pili for methanogenesis with magnetite stimulation [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Background Magnetite-mediated direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between Geobacter and Methanosarcina species is increasingly being invoked to explain magnetite stimulation of methane production in anaerobic soils and sediments.

Physiological potential and evolutionary trajectories of syntrophic sulfate-reducing bacterial partners of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea.

PLoS Biology, 2023
Sulfate-coupled anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is performed by multicellular consortia of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) in obligate syntrophic partnership with sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB).
