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.

Metabolic capabilities of microorganisms involved in and associated with the anaerobic oxidation of methane

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
In marine sediments the anaerobic oxidation of methane with sulfate as electron acceptor (AOM) is responsible for the removal of a major part of the greenhouse gas methane.

Metabolic Flexibility of Sulfate Reducing Bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011
Dissimilatory sulfate-reducing prokaryotes (SRB) are a very diverse group of anaerobic bacteria that are omnipresent in nature and play an imperative role in the global cycling of carbon and sulfur.

Lithosyntrophy: Obligate syntrophy in a phosphite-oxidizing, methanogenic culture

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
The anaerobic conversion of organic matter to methane and carbon dioxide typically relies on obligate syntrophic interactions between bacteria and methanogenic archaea, where interspecies hydrogen (H 2 ) transfer enables thermodynamically constrained reactions to proceed near equilibrium. Syntrophs

Mathematical model of anaerobic digestion in a chemostat: effects of syntrophy and inhibition

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2013
Three of the four main stages of anaerobic digestion: acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis are described by a system of differential equations modelling the interaction of microbial populations in a chemostat. The microbes consume and/or produce simple substrates, alcohols and fatty acids, acetic acid, and hydrogen.

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.

Development of a Bioelectrochemical System as a Tool to Enrich H2-Producing Syntrophic Bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Syntrophic microbial partnerships are found in many environments and play critical roles in wastewater treatment, global nutrient cycles, and gut systems. An important type of syntrophy for the anaerobic conversion of carboxylic acids is H2 syntrophy. In
