Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.A protein interaction network of ANME‐2a uncovers a modular blueprint where core methane oxidation is energetically coupled to nitrogen fixation and membrane lipid biosynthesis. This integrated system explains the archaeon's metabolic autonomy and resilience in its extreme deep‐sea niche.

Enhancement of methanogenesis by electric syntrophy with biogenic iron‐sulfide minerals [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2018 AbstractRecent 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 conducted enrichment experiments with methanogenic microbial communities from rice paddy ...

Bacterial community analysis in upflow multilayer anaerobic reactor (UMAR) treating high-solids organic wastes [PDF]
, 2017 A novel anaerobic digestion configuration, the upflow multi-layer anaerobic reactor (UMAR), was developed to treat high-solids organic wastes. The UMAR was hypothesized to form multi-layer along depth due to the upflow plug flow; use of a recirculation ...

Eukaryogenesis From FECA to LECA: Radical Steps Along the Way
BioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 11, November 2025.How did the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) population evolve? Recent evidence shows an Asgard archaeon‐like organism acquiring a bacterium, the future mitochondrion, going from symbiosis to endosymbiosis. I postulate that almost all salient LECA characteristics could have resulted from the ensuing enhanced ATP generation and internal reactive ...

Synthetic Escherichia coli consortia engineered for syntrophy demonstrate enhanced biomass productivity [PDF]
Journal of Biotechnology, 2012 Synthetic Escherichia coli consortia engineered for syntrophy demonstrated enhanced biomass productivity relative to monocultures. Binary consortia were designed to mimic a ubiquitous, naturally occurring ecological template of primary productivity supported by secondary consumption.

It does not always take two to tango: “Syntrophy” via hydrogen cycling in one bacterial cell
The ISME Journal, 2020 Interspecies hydrogen transfer in anoxic ecosystems is essential for the complete microbial breakdown of organic matter to methane. Acetogenic bacteria are key players in anaerobic food webs and have been considered as prime candidates for hydrogen ...

Database Release: PPSDB, a Linked Open Data Knowledge Base for Protist–Prokaryote Symbioses
Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 72, Issue 6, November/December 2025.ABSTRACT As the ecological and evolutionary importance of symbiotic interactions between protists (microbial eukaryotes) and prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) is better appreciated, keeping an overview of their diversity and the literature becomes a growing and ongoing challenge.

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2025.During the startup of a thermophilic anaerobic digester fed with sewage sludge, changes in reactor function were associated with changes in microbial community composition. The functional potential of the microbiome during different reactor stages was analyzed using genome‐resolved metagenomics.
