Microbial syntrophy: interaction for the common good [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2013
Classical definitions of syntrophy focus on a process, performed through metabolic interaction between dependent microbial partners, such as the degradation of complex organic compounds under anoxic conditions. However, examples from past and current scientific discoveries suggest that a new, simple but wider definition is necessary to cover all ...

Syntrophy in anaerobic global carbon cycles [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Biotechnology, 2009
Syntrophy is an essential intermediary step in the anaerobic conversion of organic matter to methane where metabolically distinct microorganisms are tightly linked by the need to maintain the exchanged metabolites at very low concentrations. Anaerobic syntrophy is thermodynamically constrained, and is probably a prime reason why it is difficult to ...

A stable genetic polymorphism underpinning microbial syntrophy [PDF]

open access: yesISME Journal, 2016
Abstract Syntrophies are metabolic cooperations, whereby two organisms co-metabolize a substrate in an interdependent manner. Many of the observed natural syntrophic interactions are mandatory in the absence of strong electron acceptors, such that one species in the syntrophy has to assume the role of electron sink for the other ...

Engineered methanotrophic syntrophy in photogranule communities removes dissolved methane

open access: yesWater Research X, 2021
The anaerobic treatment of wastewater leads to the loss of dissolved methane in the effluent of the treatment plant, especially when operated at low temperatures. The emission of this greenhouse gas may reduce or even offset the environmental gain from energy recovery through anaerobic treatment. We demonstrate here the removal and elimination of these

Genomic Insights into Syntrophy: The Paradigm for Anaerobic Metabolic Cooperation

Annual Review of Microbiology, 2012
Syntrophy is a tightly coupled mutualistic interaction between hydrogen-/formate-producing and hydrogen-/formate-using microorganisms that occurs throughout the microbial world. Syntrophy is essential for global carbon cycling, waste decomposition, and biofuel production.

Syntrophy in Methanogenic Degradation

2010
This chapter deals with microbial communities of bacteria and archaea that closely cooperate in methanogenic degradation and perform metabolic functions in this community that neither one of them could carry out alone. The methanogenic degradation of fatty acids, alcohols, most aromatic compounds, amino acids, and others is performed in partnership ...

Anaerobic prokaryotes: competition and syntrophy

1995
Abstract The most obvious impact of fermentation in the contemporary world is on human and animal nutrition. The community of fermenting microbes living in the forestomach of herbivorous mammals is completely responsible for decomposing grass and other plant material to the fatty acids on which the host depends for growth; and wood ...
