Methane-Fueled Syntrophy through Extracellular Electron Transfer: Uncovering the Genomic Traits Conserved within Diverse Bacterial Partners of Anaerobic Methanotrophic Archaea [PDF]
mBio, 2017 The anaerobic oxidation of methane by anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) archaea in syntrophic partnership with deltaproteobacterial sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) is the primary mechanism for methane removal in ocean sediments.

Electroactive Microbiomes: Electron Transfer Mechanisms and Environmental Biotechnology Applications. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepElectroactive microbiomes couple direct, mediated, conductive, and interspecies electron transfer with biofilm organisation to drive wastewater treatment, bioremediation, resource recovery, carbon conversion, and biosensing. Their performance depends on balancing electron transfer, mass transport, community structure, and electrode–biofilm interactions

Eco-evolutionary modelling of microbial syntrophy indicates the robustness of cross-feeding over cross-facilitation [PDF]
, 2023 Syntrophic cooperation among prokaryotes is ubiquitous and diverse. It relies on unilateral or mutual aid that may be both catalytic and metabolic in nature.

Enoyl-Coenzyme A Respiration via Formate Cycling in Syntrophic Bacteria
mBio, 2022 Syntrophic bacteria play a key role in the anaerobic conversion of biological matter to methane. They convert short-chain fatty acids or alcohols to H2, formate, and acetate that serve as substrates for methanogenic archaea.
