Expanding the Diet for DIET: Electron Donors Supporting Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer (DIET) in Defined Co-Cultures

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) has been recognized as an alternative to interspecies H2 transfer as a mechanism for syntrophic growth, but previous studies on DIET with defined co-cultures have only documented DIET with ethanol as the ...

Anaerobic LCFA degradation: a role for non-syntrophic conversions? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
For many years the focus of lipids/long-chain fatty-acids (LCFA) wastewater treatment was on technological and process developments. More recently, promising results on the anaerobic treatment of LCFA-containing wastewaters[1] widened the attention to ...

Geobacter Strains Expressing Poorly Conductive Pili Reveal Constraints on Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer Mechanisms

open access: yesmBio, 2018
Cytochrome-to-cytochrome electron transfer and electron transfer along conduits of multiple extracellular magnetite grains are often proposed as strategies for direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) that do not require electrically conductive pili (

Methanogenic \u3cem\u3eArchaea\u3c/em\u3e and human periodontal disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Archaea have been isolated from the human colon, vagina, and oral cavity, but have not been established as causes of human disease. In this study, we reveal a relationship between the severity of periodontal disease and the relative abundance of archaeal

Syntrophic LCFA degradation: generating a high-energy carrier from low-energy metabolism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
For many years the interest in anaerobic degradation of lipids and long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) focused on technology and process developments. Attention to the microbiology of LCFA conversion was boosted by results showing that high methane yields ...

Investigating the Interactions Between Cyanobacteria and Vibrio parahaemolyticus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
One well-known pathogen that has been the topic of many recent studies is Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which causes thousands of foodborne illnesses a year, mostly from the ingestion of raw or undercooked oysters. It has been shown cyanobacteria can act as a

Microbes, cables, and an electrical touch [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In nature, highly efficient and diverse consortia of microbes cycle carbon and other elements while generating energy for growth. Driving these reactions are organisms with the ability to extract electrons from the chemical substrates and transfer them ...

Synthetic syntrophy for adenine nucleotide cross-feeding between metabolically active nanoreactors

open access: yesNature Nanotechnology
Living systems depend on continuous energy input for growth, replication and information processing. Cells use membrane proteins as nanomachines to convert light or chemical energy of nutrients into other forms of energy, such as ion gradients or adenosine triphosphate (ATP). However, engineering sustained fuel supply and metabolic energy conversion in

Invasion moving boundary problem for a biofilm reactor model

open access: yes, 2017
The work presents the analysis of the free boundary value problem related to the invasion model of new species in biofilm reactors. In the framework of continuum approach to mathematical modelling of biofilm growth, the problem consists of a system of ...
