Pure culture of Syntrophus buswellii, definition of its phylogenetic status, and description of Syntrophus gentianae sp. nov.
TLDR
In this paper, the syntrophically benzoate-oxidizing anaerobic bacterium Syntrophus bustvellii was grown in pure culture in a defined mineral medium with crotonate as sole substrate, which was fermented stoichiometrically to acetate and butyrate.About:

Energetics of syntrophic cooperation in methanogenic degradation.
TL;DR: S syntrophically fermenting bacteria synthesize ATP by substrate-level phosphorylation and reinvest part of the ATP-bound energy into reversed electron transport processes, to release the electrons at a redox level accessible by the partner bacteria and to balance their energy budget.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil microorganisms as controllers of atmospheric trace gases (H2, CO, CH4, OCS, N2O, and NO).
TL;DR: It is completely unclear how important microbial diversity is for the control of trace gas flux at the ecosystem level, and different microbial communities may be part of the reason for differences in trace gas metabolism, e.g., effects of nitrogen fertilizers on CH4 uptake by soil; decrease of CH4 production with decreasing temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial diversity in a hydrocarbon- and chlorinated-solvent-contaminated aquifer undergoing intrinsic bioremediation
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the terminal step of hydrocarbon degradation in the methanogenic zone of the aquifer is aceticlastic methanogenesis and that the microorganisms represented by these two sequence types occur in syntrophic association.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial biodiversity in groundwater ecosystems
TL;DR: The current status of groundwater microbial biodiversity research with a focus on Bacteria and Archaea is reviewed and on the prospects of modern techniques for enhancing the authors' understanding of microbial biodiversity patterns and their relation to environmental conditions is reviewed.
Book ChapterDOI
Syntrophism among Prokaryotes
TL;DR: Want to understand how microorganisms act in natural systems requires the realization that microorganisms don’t usually occur as pure cultures out there, but that every single cell has to cooperate or compete with other microor macroorganisms.

TL;DR: The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) is a curated database that offers ribosome data along with related programs and services that include phylogenetically ordered alignments of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences, derived phylogenetic trees, rRNA secondary structure diagrams and various software packages for handling, analyzing and displaying alignments and trees.
Journal ArticleDOI
The winds of (evolutionary) change: breathing new life into microbiology.
TL;DR: The split between the Archaea and the Bacteria is now recognized as the primary phylogenetic division and that the Eucarya have branched from the same side of the tree as the archaea.

TL;DR: Three strains of oval to rodshaped, Gram negative, nonsporing sulfate-reducing bacteria were isolated from brackish water and marine mud samples with acetate as sole electron donor and all three strains grew in simple defined media supplemented with biotin and 4-aminobenzoic acid as growth factors.

Numerical methods for inferring evolutionary trees.
TL;DR: Although existing statistical models are highly oversimplified and do not reflect the complexity of evolutionary processes, it is by viewing the problem as a statistical one that all these methods can be placed in common fremework, within which their behavior and assumptions can be compared.

TL;DR: The latest release of the large ribosomal subunit RNA database contains 429 sequences, all of which are aligned, and incorporate secondary structure information.
