Energy conservation in chemotrophic anaerobic bacteria.
TL;DR: This article corrects the article on p. 100 in vol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance, resilience, and redundancy in microbial communities
TL;DR: It is found that the composition of most microbial groups is sensitive and not immediately resilient to disturbance, regardless of taxonomic breadth of the group or the type of disturbance, and a simple framework to incorporate microbial community composition into ecosystem process models is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
