Beyond Methane Oxidation: The Protein Landscape of ANME‐2a Reveals an Integrated System for Diazotrophy and Membrane Fortification

open access: yesEnvironmental 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.

Eukaryogenesis From FECA to LECA: Radical Steps Along the Way

open access: yesBioEssays, 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 ...

Community structure in methanogenic enrichments provides insight into syntrophic interactions in hydrocarbon-impacted environments

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The methanogenic biodegradation of crude oil involves the conversion of hydrocarbons to methanogenic substrates by syntrophic bacteria and subsequent methane production by methanogens. Assessing the metabolic roles played by various microbial species in

Database Release: PPSDB, a Linked Open Data Knowledge Base for Protist–Prokaryote Symbioses

open access: yesJournal 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.

Quantitative Detection of Syntrophic Fatty Acid-degrading Bacterial Communities in Methanogenic Environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In methanogenic habitats, volatile fatty acids (VFA), such as propionate and butyrate, are major intermediates in organic matter degradation. VFA are further metabolized to H2, acetate and CO2 by syntrophic fatty acid-degrading bacteria (SFAB) in ...

From Low‐Loaded Mesophilic to High‐Loaded Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion: Changes in Reactor Performance and Microbiome

open access: yesMicrobial 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.

Membrane complexes of Syntrophomonas wolfei involved in syntrophic butyrate degradation and hydrogen formation

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Syntrophic butyrate metabolism involves the thermodynamically unfavorable production of hydrogen and/or formate from the high potential electron donor, butyryl-CoA.

Non-syntrophic reactions in anaerobic unsaturated LCFA conversion by methanogenic sludges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Lipids are energy-rich compounds. This energy can be conserved as biogas in anaerobic bioreactors but the process is frequently hindered by long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) accumulation.

Metabolism and Occurrence of Methanogenic and Sulfate-Reducing Syntrophic Acetate Oxidizing Communities in Haloalkaline Environments

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Anaerobic syntrophic acetate oxidation (SAO) is a thermodynamically unfavorable process involving a syntrophic acetate oxidizing bacterium (SAOB) that forms interspecies electron carriers (IECs).
