Metagenomic and cultivation-based description of a syntrophic butyrate-oxidizing bacterium from a thermophilic and high-ammonia biogas process

Ammonia inhibition in anaerobic digestion can lead to butyrate accumulation and reduced methane yield. Despite the importance of syntrophic butyrate oxidation in mitigating this effect, the microorganisms and interactions involved under high-ammonia conditions remain poorly understood. Here, we combine metagenomics and...
