Community structure in methanogenic enrichments provides insight into syntrophic interactions in hydrocarbon-impacted environments
The methanogenic biodegradation of crude oil involves the conversion of hydrocarbons to methanogenic substrates by syntrophic bacteria and subsequent methane production by methanogens. Assessing the metabolic roles played by various microbial species in syntrophic communities remains a challenge, b...
