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.

The Evolution of Microbial Facilitation: Sociogenesis, Symbiogenesis, and Transition in Individuality

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Metabolic cooperation is widespread, and it seems to be a ubiquitous and easily evolvable interaction in the microbial domain. Mutual metabolic cooperation, like syntrophy, is thought to have a crucial role in stabilizing interactions and communities ...

Electron and Proton Flux for Carbon Dioxide Reduction in Methanosarcina barkeri During Direct Interspecies Electron Transfer

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is important in diverse methanogenic environments, but how methanogens participate in DIET is poorly understood.

B-Vitamin Sharing Promotes Stability of Gut Microbial Communities

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Cross-feeding on intermediary and end-point metabolites plays an important role in the dynamic interactions of host-associated microbial communities. While gut microbiota possess inherent resilience to perturbation, variations in the intake of certain ...

The Syntrophy Hypothesis for the Origin of Eukaryotes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The syntrophy hypothesis proposes an evolutionary pathway for the origin of eukaryotes based primarily on a symbiotic event between methanogenic archaea and facultative fermentative-sulfate reducing δ-protcobacteria (ancestral myxobacteria). The mitochondrial symbiosis is an independent event involving methane-oxidizing α-proteobacteria.

Novel microbial syntrophies identified by longitudinal metagenomics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
ABSTRACT Identifying species interactions in a microbial community and how this relates to community function is a key challenge. Towards addressing this challenge, we present here an extensive genome-resolved, longitudinal dataset and associated metadata.

Methane-Fueled Syntrophy through Extracellular Electron Transfer: Uncovering the Genomic Traits Conserved within Diverse Bacterial Partners of Anaerobic Methanotrophic Archaea

open access: yesmBio, 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.

Programming Gut Microbiome Function Through Cross‐Feeding: From Ecological Mechanisms to Live Biotherapeutics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This graphical abstract presents gut microbial cross‐feeding through a Mechanism–Technology–Application framework. It summarizes major resource‐transfer modes, the experimental and computational tools used to establish causality, and potential interventions involving dietary substrates, live biotherapeutic products, and engineered microbes.

Propionate Converting Anaerobic Microbial Communities Enriched from Distinct Biogeochemical Zones of Aarhus Bay, Denmark under Sulfidogenic and Methanogenic Conditions

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
The relationship between predominant physiological types of prokaryotes in marine sediments and propionate degradation through sulfate reduction, fermentation, and methanogenesis was studied in marine sediments.

Seasonal Restructuring of Microbial Communities and Resistomes in the Shitalakshya River, Bangladesh Revealed by Shotgun Metagenomics

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Dry‐season pollutant concentration drives microbial restructuring in Bangladesh's Shitalakshya River, shifting communities from Myroides to stress‐tolerant genera while enriching metal resistance genes and efflux pumps, revealing non‐antibiotic co‐selection as a key driver of antimicrobial resistance in urban waters.
