Methanogenic archaea and sulfate reducing bacteria co-cultured on acetate: teamwork or coexistence?

Methanogenic archaea and sulfate reducing bacteria co-cultured on acetate: teamwork or coexistence?

Acetate is a major product of fermentation processes and an important substrate for sulfate reducing bacteria and methanogenic archaea. Most studies on acetate catabolism by sulfate reducers and methanogens have used pure cultures. Less is known about acetate conversion by mixed pure cultures and th...
