Metagenomic and cultivation-based description of a syntrophic butyrate-oxidizing bacterium from a thermophilic and high-ammonia biogas process
A novel syntrophic butyrate-oxidizing candidate is identified that enables butyrate degradation under high-ammonia conditions via tightly coupled interactions with acetate-oxidizing bacteria and hydrogenotrophic methanogens, sustaining methane production under ammonia stress.
