Syntrophic Growth via Quinone-Mediated Interspecies Electron Transfer

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2015
The mechanisms by which microbial species exchange electrons are of interest because interspecies electron transfer can expand the metabolic capabilities of microbial communities.

The Prebiotic and Techno‐Functional Potential of Microbial Exopolysaccharides for Human Health and Food Systems

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial exopolysaccharides (EPS) represent a diverse class of biopolymers holding considerable promise as functional food ingredients. This review analyzes the dual function of microbial EPS as a candidate for prebiotic agents and techno‐functional additives.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Optimal protein production by a synthetic microbial consortium: coexistence, distribution of labor, and syntrophy

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2022
The bacterium E. coli is widely used to produce recombinant proteins such as growth hormone and insulin. One inconvenience with E. coli cultures is the secretion of acetate through overflow metabolism. Acetate inhibits cell growth and represents a carbon

Cross‐Feeding of Carbon and Nitrogen Between Aquificales and Thermus in Hot Springs

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2026.
Pampinifervens and Thermus populations are co‐distributed in hot springs in Yellowstone and Iceland. Genome reconstruction suggests Pampinifervens Flu05 cross feeds Thermus organic carbon and nitrogen, a phenomenon that was verified via co‐culture studies.

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).
