Genesis of ectosymbiotic features based on commensalistic syntrophy. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2022
The origin of eukaryotes and organellogenesis have been recognized as a major evolutionary transition and subject to in-depth studies. Acknowledging the fact that the initial interactions and conditions of cooperative behaviour between free-living single-

Asymmetric metabolic adaptations undermine stability in microbial syntrophy. [PDF]

ISME Commun
Syntrophic interaction, driven by metabolite exchange, is widespread within microbial communities. However, co-inoculation of most auxotrophic microorganisms often fails to establish a stable metabolite exchange relationship.

Hydrogen limitation and syntrophic growth among natural assemblages of thermophilic methanogens at deep-sea hydrothermal vents [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Thermophilic methanogens are common autotrophs at hydrothermal vents, but their growth constraints and dependence on H2 syntrophy in situ are poorly understood.

Eco-evolutionary modelling of microbial syntrophy indicates the robustness of cross-feeding over cross-facilitation. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2023
Syntrophic cooperation among prokaryotes is ubiquitous and diverse. It relies on unilateral or mutual aid that may be both catalytic and metabolic in nature.

Acetate-based syntrophy enhances methane production potential of ruminant feces. [PDF]

Front Microbiol
Livestock feces contribute to approximately 32% of global methane emissions. Although ruminants are generally believed to have a higher methane production potential than non-ruminants, the dominant pathways and key regulatory processes underlying methane

Activated Carbon and Syntrophy Accelerate the Corrosion of Stainless Steel Under Strict Anaerobic Conditions by <i>Methanosarcina barkeri</i>. [PDF]

Microorganisms
Previous studies have demonstrated that some methanogens can directly accept electrons from Fe(0), leading to metal corrosion under strict anaerobic conditions. However, there are few reports on the research of anaerobic iron corrosion by some substances

Separate, separated, and together: the transcriptional program of the <i>Clostridium acetobutylicum-Clostridium ljungdahlii</i> syntrophy leading to interspecies cell fusion. [PDF]

mSystems
Syntrophic cocultures (hitherto assumed to be commensalistic) of Clostridium acetobutylicum and Clostridium ljungdahlii, whereby CO2 and H2 produced by the former feed the latter, result in interspecies cell fusion involving large-scale exchange of ...

Niche-Aware Metagenomic Screening for Enzyme Methioninase Illuminates Its Contribution to Metabolic Syntrophy. [PDF]

Microb Ecol
The single step methioninase-mediated degradation of methionine (as a sulfur containing amino acid) is a reaction at the interface of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, and methane metabolism in microbes.

Metaproteome analysis reveals that syntrophy, competition, and phage-host interaction shape microbial communities in biogas plants

Microbiome, 2019
Background In biogas plants, complex microbial communities produce methane and carbon dioxide by anaerobic digestion of biomass. For the characterization of the microbial functional networks, samples of 11 reactors were analyzed using a high-resolution ...

Methane-Fueled Syntrophy through Extracellular Electron Transfer: Uncovering the Genomic Traits Conserved within Diverse Bacterial Partners of Anaerobic Methanotrophic Archaea [PDF]

mBio, 2017
The anaerobic oxidation of methane by anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) archaea in syntrophic partnership with deltaproteobacterial sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) is the primary mechanism for methane removal in ocean sediments.
