Metagenomic Analyses Reveal That Energy Transfer Gene Abundances Can Predict the Syntrophic Potential of Environmental Microbial Communities

Microorganisms, 2016
Hydrocarbon compounds can be biodegraded by anaerobic microorganisms to form methane through an energetically interdependent metabolic process known as syntrophy.

Steady‐State Anaerobic Co‐Digestion of Aqueous Condensate From Municipal Sludge Pyrolysis

Water Environment Research, Volume 97, Issue 12, December 2025.
Anaerobic 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.

Spatial Heterogeneity in Methane Biogeochemistry and Prokaryotic Community Structure in Sub‐Arctic Waterbodies in Northern Canada

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 12, December 2025.
Prokaryotic communities and methane dynamics differed markedly across 16 sub‐Arctic waterbodies. Maximum depth and permafrost thaw emerged as key drivers, with non‐stratified thaw‐affected sites hosting distinct communities and elevated methane fluxes, highlighting their potential role as emerging hotspots of methane emissions.

Thermophilic Hadarchaeota grow on long-chain alkanes in syntrophy with methanogens. [PDF]

Nat Commun
Methanogenic hydrocarbon degradation can be carried out by archaea that couple alkane oxidation directly to methanogenesis, or by syntrophic associations of bacteria with methanogenic archaea. However, metagenomic analyses of methanogenic environments have revealed other archaea with potential for alkane degradation but apparent inability to form ...

Marine Cold Seep ANME‐2/SRB Consortia Produce Their Lipid Biomass From Inorganic Carbon

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 12, December 2025.
Lipid‐stable isotope probing (SIP) experiments in Astoria Canyon sediments revealed that both ANME‐2 and SRB primarily assimilate dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC or HCO3‐), not methane, into biomass. SRB‐specific lipids showed eightfold higher DI13C‐assimilation than ANME lipids, suggesting SRB directly assimilate DIC, while ANME assimilate an ...

Stimulatory Effect of Magnetite Nanoparticles on a Highly Enriched Butyrate-Oxidizing Consortium

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Syntrophic oxidation of butyrate is catabolized by a few bacteria specialists in the presence of methanogens. In the present study, a highly enriched butyrate-oxidizing consortium was obtained from a wetland sediment in Tibetan Plateau. During continuous

Metagenomic Insights Into the Ecology, Taxonomy and Metabolic Capabilities of ‘Candidatus Darwinibacteriales’ Ord. Nov. (Formerly MBA03), a Potential Key Player in Anaerobic Digestion

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 12, December 2025.
Metagenomic analysis of anaerobic digesters revealed a dominant, uncultured bacterial taxon—MBA03—now proposed as ‘Candidatus Darwinibacteriales’ ord. nov. This newly defined order includes potential syntrophic acetate‐oxidising bacteria (SAOB), suggesting a key role in methane production.

Anaerobic hydrocarbon and fatty acid metabolism by syntrophic bacteria and their impact on carbon steel corrosion

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
The microbial metabolism of hydrocarbons is increasingly associated with the corrosion of carbon steel in sulfate-rich marine waters. However, how such transformations influence metal biocorrosion in the absence of an electron acceptor is not fully ...

Beyond Methane Oxidation: The Protein Landscape of ANME‐2a Reveals an Integrated System for Diazotrophy and Membrane Fortification

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 6, December 2025.
A protein interaction network of ANME‐2a uncovers a modular blueprint where core methane oxidation is energetically coupled to nitrogen fixation and membrane lipid biosynthesis. This integrated system explains the archaeon's metabolic autonomy and resilience in its extreme deep‐sea niche.
