Project description:We established simple synthetic microbial communities in a microcosm model system to determine the mechanisms that underlay cross-feeding in microbial methane-consuming communities. Co-occurring strains from Lake Washington sediment were used that are involved in methane consumption, a methanotroph and two non-methanotrophic methylotrophs.
Project description:In order to study the protein responsive network to thermal stress, the proteome analysis of Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis, a kind of anaerobic thermophilic eubacterium, were performed.
