How do you make methane from phosphite? Through interspecies H2 transfer! Our paper on lithosyntrophy is finally published - read about how we resolved the metabolic interactions in this phosphite oxidizing, methanogenic enrichment culture! #phosphorus #methanogenesis www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Lithosyntrophy: Obligate syntrophy in a phosphite-oxidizing, methanogenic culture | PNAS

The anaerobic conversion of organic matter to methane and carbon dioxide typically relies on obligate syntrophic interactions between bacteria and ...

Ruiwen Hu, a postdoc in #BioEGSB, attended #LiNo25 in #Chemistry as part of the UC President’s annual fellowship program. The event “offered a rare opportunity to engage directly with some of the world’s foremost scientific minds," including Nobel Laureate Moungi Bawendi (pictured with Hu).

New preprint by Ruiwen Hu @microbialcookie.bsky.social! We show that carbon oxidation state shapes carbon degradation in rice paddy sediments. Negative NOSC = slower degradation, more methane, and more syntrophs & methanogens but fewer fermenters. Genomes reflect thermodynamic preferences.
