Anaerobic #ciliates often harbor #methanogens as endosymbionts that consume #H2 produced by the host. Methanogens can be picked up from the environment and transferred via mixed-mode transmission. They also glow in UV😍 The ISME Journal Dr. Roxanne Beinart (she/her/hers) academic.oup.com/ismej/article/…
#Archaea collaborate to degrade #hydrocarbons into #methane The thermophilic Hadaerchaeota degrades #hexadecane into #CO2, #H2, and acetate using the Acr enzyme. These products are then utilized by conventional #methanogens to produce #CH4. Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…
