Examples of syntrophy in the following topics:
-
- Syntrophy or cross feeding is when one species lives off the products of another species.
- A frequently cited example of syntrophy are methanogenic archaea bacteria and their partner bacteria that perform anaerobic fermentation.
-
- Syntrophy is the phenomenon where one species lives off the products of another species.
- Syntrophy, or symbiosis, is the phenomenon involving one species living off the products of another species.
- Such relationships are called reciprocal syntrophy because the plant lives off the products of micro-organisms.
- Many symbiotic relationships are based on syntrophy.
- The best studied example of syntrophy in microbial metabolism is the oxidation of fermentative end products (such as acetate, ethanol and butyrate) by organisms such as Syntrophomonas.
