Microbial syntrophy: interaction for the common good [PDF]
FEMS 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 ...

Microbial interspecies interactions: recent findings in syntrophic consortia
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Microbes are ubiquitous in our biosphere, and inevitably live in communities. They excrete a variety of metabolites and support the growth of other microbes in a community.

Relating Anaerobic Digestion Microbial Community and Process Function [PDF]
, 2016 Anaerobic digestion (AD) involves a consortium of microorganisms that convert substrates into biogas containing methane for renewable energy. The technology has suffered from the perception of being periodically unstable due to limited understanding of ...

The Syntrophy hypothesis for the origin of eukaryotes revisited [PDF]
Nature Microbiology, 2020 The discovery of Asgard archaea, phylogenetically closer to eukaryotes than other archaea, together with improved knowledge of microbial ecology, impose new constraints on emerging models for the origin of the eukaryotic cell (eukaryogenesis). Long-held views are metamorphosing in favour of symbiogenetic models based on metabolic interactions between ...

Visualization of metabolic interaction networks in microbial communities using VisANT 5.0 [PDF]
, 2016 The complexity of metabolic networks in microbial communities poses an unresolved visualization and interpretation challenge. We address this challenge in the newly expanded version of a software tool for the analysis of biological networks, VisANT 5.0 ...

Interactive Film & Media Journal, 2023 While the gift economy is often considered a mechanism to strengthen social ties, the grift economy is often considered detrimental. However both systems rely on reciprocal play adding complexity to and questioning the ‘valuation’ mythology in contemporary free market logic.
