Syntrophic growth on formate by a coculture of Moorella sp. strain AMP and Methanothermobacter sp. strain NJ1. (A) Changes in formate (▴), methane (•), hydrogen (⧫), and acetate (⋄). (B) Growth. OD 600 nm, optical density at 600 nm. (C) Actual Gibbs free-energy changes for formate degradation to H2 and bicarbonate (▵) and methane formation from H2 and bicarbonate (○). Data are averages of duplicate incubations; the experiment was repeated once with essentially the same results.
