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
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 ...

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
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]
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 ...

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.

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