Magnetite facilitates phage-bacteria interactions and phage-associated metabolic coordination for medium-chain fatty acid biosynthesis under ammonia stress.
Medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) production from waste activated sludge (WAS) is considered to rely on the syntrophic interactions among distinct functional microorganisms. Whether phages represent an overlooked ecological component involved in MCFA biosynthesis remains unclear. MCFA production is often inhibited by high...
