Syntrophy emerges spontaneously in complex metabolic systems.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2019 Syntrophy allows a microbial community as a whole to survive in an environment, even though individual microbes cannot. The metabolic interdependence typical of syntrophy is thought to arise from the accumulation of degenerative mutations during the ...

A stable genetic polymorphism underpinning microbial syntrophy [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2016 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 ...

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023 The cheese-making process generates large amounts of cheese whey wastewater (CWW), which is abundant in nutrients but difficult to dispose of, contributing to the eutrophication of natural environments due to inadequate waste management. Here we show the

Thermophilic Hadarchaeota grow on long-chain alkanes in syntrophy with methanogens. [PDF]
Nat CommunMethanogenic hydrocarbon degradation can be carried out by archaea that couple alkane oxidation directly to methanogenesis, or by syntrophic associations of bacteria with methanogenic archaea.

Plugging in or Going Wireless: Strategies for Interspecies Electron Transfer [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Interspecies exchange of electrons enables a diversity of microbial communities to gain energy from reactions that no one microbe can catalyze. The first recognized strategies for interspecies electron transfer were those that relied on chemical ...

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