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

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

Comprehensive 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.

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 ...

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.
