Syntrophy between bacteria and archaea enhances methane production in an EGSB bioreactor fed by cheese whey wastewater

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Asymmetric metabolic adaptations undermine stability in microbial syntrophy. [PDF]

open access: yesISME Commun
Abstract Syntrophic interaction, driven by metabolite exchange, is widespread within microbial communities. However, co-inoculation of most auxotrophic microorganisms often fails to establish a stable metabolite exchange relationship. Here, we engineered two auxotrophic Escherichia coli strains, each dependent on the other for essential ...

Syntrophy in microbial fuel cells [PDF]

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2013
Syntrophy has a pivotal role in the microbial degradation of organic compounds in methanogenic ecosystems (McInerney et al., 2009). Methanogenic degradation of organic compounds is a sequential process: a series of organisms is involved in the various conversion steps of these compounds into methane and carbon dioxide (Dolfing, 1988).

Syntrophic Partners Enhance Growth and Respiratory Dehalogenation of Hexachlorobenzene by Dehalococcoides mccartyi Strain CBDB1

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
This study investigated syntrophic interactions between chlorinated benzene respiring Dehalococcoides mccartyi strain CBDB1 and fermenting partners (Desulfovibrio vulgaris, Syntrophobacter fumaroxidans, and Geobacter lovleyi) during hexachlorobenzene ...

Comparative Genomics and Proteomic Analysis of Assimilatory Sulfate Reduction Pathways in Anaerobic Methanotrophic Archaea

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Sulfate is the predominant electron acceptor for anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) in marine sediments. This process is carried out by a syntrophic consortium of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) through an ...

Link Between Capacity for Current Production and Syntrophic Growth in Geobacter species

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Electrodes are unnatural electron acceptors, and it is yet unknown how some Geobacter species evolved to use electrodes as terminal electron acceptors.

Additives as a Support Structure for Specific Biochemical Activity Boosts in Anaerobic Digestion: A Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2020
Anaerobic digestion is an attractive technology for resource management of organic waste and stubble. The state of biochemical reactions and activities in anaerobic digestion determines the process stability.

How Thermodynamics Illuminates Population Interactions in Microbial Communities

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
In traditional population models of microbial ecology, there are two central players: producers and consumers (including decomposers that depend on organic carbon).

Elucidating Syntrophic Butyrate-Degrading Populations in Anaerobic Digesters Using Stable-Isotope-Informed Genome-Resolved Metagenomics

open access: yesmSystems, 2019
Linking the genomic content of uncultivated microbes to their metabolic functions remains a critical challenge in microbial ecology. Resolving this challenge has implications for improving our management of key microbial interactions in biotechnologies ...

Butyrate Conversion by Sulfate-Reducing and Methanogenic Communities from Anoxic Sediments of Aarhus Bay, Denmark

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
The conventional perception that the zone of sulfate reduction and methanogenesis are separated in high- and low-sulfate-containing marine sediments has recently been changed by studies demonstrating their co-occurrence in sediments.
