Coculture of a sulfate-reducing bacterium, when grown in the absence of added sulfate, with Methanobacterium bryantii, which uses only H(2) and CO(2) for methanogenesis, degraded formate to CH(4). A pure culture of Desulfovibrio vulgaris JJ was able to produce small amounts of H(2). Such a syntrophic relationship might provide an additional way to avoid formate accumulation in anaerobic environments.

Anaerobic fungi produce biomass-degrading enzymes and natural products that are important to harness for several biotechnology applications. Although progress has been made in the development of methods for extracting nucleic acids for genomic and transcriptomic sequencing of these fungi, most studies are limited in that they do not sample multiple fungal growth phases in batch culture. In this study, we establish a method to harvest RNA from fungal monocultures and fungal-methanogen co-cultures, and also determine an optimal time frame for high-quality RNA extraction from anaerobic fungi.

The generation of food waste (FW) is increasing at an alarming rate, contributing to a total of 32% of all the waste produced globally. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an effective method for dealing with organic wastes of various compositions, like FW. Waste valorization into value-added products has increased due to the conversion of FW into biogas using AD technology.

Article Synopsis
- Anaerobic fungi like Caecomyces churrovis and methanogenic archaea such as Methanobacterium bryantii work together in the rumen to break down lignocellulose, indicating that microbes from different habitats can form beneficial relationships based on their metabolic functions.!* -
- Research found that co-culturing C. churrovis with M. bryantii led to increased gene expression for enzymes related to carbohydrate breakdown and sugar uptake, suggesting that their partnership enhances biomass decomposition capabilities.!* -
- The study highlighted the importance of a high-quality genome sequencing of C. churrovis, revealing significant genetic features that relate to carbohydrate processing and confirming that such co-cultures can boost

Consortium-based approaches are a promising avenue toward efficient bioprocessing. However, many complex microbial interactions dictate community dynamics and stability that must be replicated in synthetic systems. The rumen and/or hindguts of large mammalian herbivores harbor complex communities of biomass-degrading fungi and bacteria, as well as archaea and protozoa that work collectively to degrade lignocellulose, yet the microbial interactions responsible for stability, resilience, and activity of the community remain largely uncharacterized.
