Enoyl-Coenzyme A Respiration via Formate Cycling in Syntrophic Bacteria
ABSTRACT Syntrophic bacteria play a key role in the anaerobic conversion of biological matter to methane. They convert short-chain fatty acids or alcohols to H2, formate, and acetate that serve as substrates for methanogenic archaea. Many syntrophic bacteria can also grow with unsaturated fatty acid...
