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

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

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 55, 5 October 2026.
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.

Syntrophy increases significantly in size-reduced metabolisms when transport of all primary carbon sources is guaranteed.

, 2019
Shown is the average number of additional carbon sources that metabolisms with 520 reactions are viable on when carbon transport is restored, for single metabolisms (blue), for pairs of metabolisms expected by chance alone (cyan), and for pairs of ...

Carbohydrate Syntrophy enhances the establishment of Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 in the neonatal gut [PDF]

, 2018
The non-digestible oligosaccharide fraction of maternal milk represents an important of carbohydrate and energy source for saccharolytic bifidobacteria in the gastrointestinal tract during early life. However, not all neonatal bifidobacteria isolates can

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.

Biological Systems as Physical Data Processors: Evolution as a Case of Embodied Computing

BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 10, October 2026.
Embodied biological computing is process through which biological systems gravitate toward attractors in a solution space through a thermodynamically favored process of information capture. Applications in biotechnology, in particular metabolic engineering are numerous.

Community structure in methanogenic enrichments provides insight into syntrophic interactions in hydrocarbon-impacted environments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
The methanogenic biodegradation of crude oil involves the conversion of hydrocarbons to methanogenic substrates by syntrophic bacteria and subsequent methane production by methanogens. Assessing the metabolic roles played by various microbial species in

It does not always take two to tango: "Syntrophy" via hydrogen cycling in one bacterial cell

, 2020
Interspecies hydrogen transfer in anoxic ecosystems is essential for the complete microbial breakdown of organic matter to methane. Acetogenic bacteria are key players in anaerobic food webs and have been considered as prime candidates for hydrogen ...
