Nutrient cross-feeding in the microbial world. [PDF]
, 2014 The stability and function of a microbial community depends on nutritional interactions among community members such as the cross-feeding of essential small molecules synthesized by a subset of the population.

Syntrophy in microbial fuel cells [PDF]
The 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).

Steady-State Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Aqueous Condensate From Municipal Sludge Pyrolysis. [PDF]
Water Environ ResAnaerobic digestion of aqueous pyrolysis liquid (APL) was achieved despite its toxicity challenges. Optimal retention time, loading and acclimated inoculum improved APL conversion to methane. APL ozonation enhanced methane production, reaching 98% of theoretical yield.

Nutrient Inputs Stimulate Mercury Methylation by Syntrophs in a Subarctic Peatland
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Climate change dramatically impacts Arctic and subarctic regions, inducing shifts in wetland nutrient regimes as a consequence of thawing permafrost. Altered hydrological regimes may drive changes in the dynamics of microbial mercury (Hg) methylation and

Disentangling a metabolic cross-feeding in a halophilic archaea-bacteria consortium
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Microbial syntrophy, a cooperative metabolic interaction among prokaryotes, serves a critical role in shaping communities, due to the auxotrophic nature of many microorganisms.

Comparative Analysis of Root Microbiomes of Rice Cultivars with High and Low Methane Emissions Reveals Differences in Abundance of Methanogenic Archaea and Putative Upstream Fermenters. [PDF]
, 2020 Rice cultivation worldwide accounts for ∼7 to 17% of global methane emissions. Methane cycling in rice paddies is a microbial process not only involving methane producers (methanogens) and methane metabolizers (methanotrophs) but also other microbial ...
