Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) from bacteria to methanogens is a revolutionary
concept for syntrophic metabolism in methanogenic soils/sediments and anaerobic …

Direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) is potentially an effective form of syntrophy in
methanogenic communities, but little is known about the diversity of methanogens capable …

Anaerobic digestion of municipal and other organic waste is a microbial process for
conversion of complex organic substances to biogas (a renewable energy source) …

The co-occurrence of Geobacter and Methanosarcinales is often used as a proxy for the
manifestation of direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) in the environment. Here we …

Anaerobic conversion of organic wastes and biomass to methane is an important bioenergy
strategy, which depends on poorly understood mechanisms of interspecies electron transfer …

Mechanisms for electron transfer within microbial aggregates derived from an upflow
anaerobic sludge blanket reactor converting brewery waste to methane were investigated in …

Interspecies electron transfer is common in methanogenic consortia. Syntrophic partners
cooperate by transferring electrons from one species to the other using H 2, formate or other …

Methanogenesis is an essential part of the global carbon cycle and a key bioprocess for
sustainable energy. Methanogenesis from organic matter is accomplished by syntrophic …

Methanothrix is widely distributed in natural and artificial anoxic environments and plays a
major role in global methane emissions. It is one of only two genera that can form methane …

It has been suggested that a few methanogens are capable of extracellular electron
transfers. For instance, Methanosarcina barkeri can directly capture electrons from the …
