Syntrophy emerges spontaneously in complex metabolic systems
PLoS Computational Biology, 2019 Syntrophy allows a microbial community as a whole to survive in an environment, even though individual microbes cannot. The metabolic interdependence typical of syntrophy is thought to arise from the accumulation of degenerative mutations during the ...

Enhancement of methanogenesis by electric syntrophy with biogenic iron‐sulfide minerals [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2019 Recent studies have shown that interspecies electron transfer between chemoheterotrophic bacteria and methanogenic archaea can be mediated by electric currents flowing through conductive iron oxides, a process termed electric syntrophy. In this study, we

A 'Genome-First' Framework for Next-Generation Bioinputs: From Functional Mining to Rational Synthetic Microbial Communities. [PDF]
Environ MicrobiolI propose a ‘genome‐first’ framework to collapse the phenotypic bottleneck in bioinput discovery. By integrating multi‐layered genome mining and reverse ecology, this paradigm enables the rational design of stable synthetic microbial communities for a data‐driven and sustainable agricultural bioeconomy.

Full-Length 16S and 18S rRNA Long-Read Sequencing Reveals Gut Microbiome Diversity in the European Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus). [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepFull‐length 16S and 18S rRNA Oxford Nanopore sequencing of large intestine contents from 30 healthy European brown hares revealed broad gut microbiome diversity. An 80% identity threshold detected substantially greater taxonomic richness than 95%, emphasizing the value of long‐read sequencing in wildlife microbiome research. ABSTRACT The European brown

Comparative proteogenomics reveals ecological and evolutionary insights into the organohalide-respiring Dehalobacter restrictus strain T [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology1,1,1-Trichloroethane (1,1,1-TCA) and chloroform (CF) are persistent groundwater contaminants because of their widespread industrial use as organic solvents and improper disposal in the past.

Reactive Oxygen and Sulfur Species: Partners in Crime
Oxygen, 2022 The emergence of complexity requires cooperation, yet selection typically favors defectors that do not cooperate. Such evolutionary conflict can be alleviated by a variety of mechanisms, allowing complexity to emerge.

mBio, 2020 Cold seeps and hydrothermal vents deliver large amounts of methane and other gaseous alkanes into marine surface sediments. Consortia of archaea and partner bacteria thrive on the oxidation of these alkanes and its coupling to sulfate reduction.

Enoyl-Coenzyme A Respiration via Formate Cycling in Syntrophic Bacteria
mBio, 2022 Syntrophic bacteria play a key role in the anaerobic conversion of biological matter to methane. They convert short-chain fatty acids or alcohols to H2, formate, and acetate that serve as substrates for methanogenic archaea.

Microbial interspecies interactions: recent findings in syntrophic consortia
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Microbes are ubiquitous in our biosphere, and inevitably live in communities. They excrete a variety of metabolites and support the growth of other microbes in a community.
