| Abstract |
Syntrophic oxidation of butyrate is catabolized by a few bacteria specialists in the presence of methanogens. In the present study, a highly enriched butyrate-oxidizing consortium was obtained from a wetland sediment in Tibetan Plateau. During continuous transfers of the enrichment, the addition of magnetite nanoparticles (nanoFe3O4) consistently enhanced butyrate oxidation and CH4 production. Molecular analysis revealed that all bacterial sequences from the consortium belonged to Syntrophomonas with the closest relative of Syntrophomonas wolfei and 96% of the archaeal sequences were related to Methanobacteria with the remaining sequences to Methanocella. Addition of graphite and carbon nanotubes for a replacement of nanoFe3O4 caused the similar stimulatory effect. Silica coating of nanoFe3O4 surface, however, completely eliminated the stimulatory effect. The control experiment with axenic cultivation of a Syntrophomonas strain and two methanogen strains showed no effect by nanoFe3O4. Together, the results in the present study support that syntrophic oxidation of butyrate is likely facilitated by direct interspecies electron transfer in the presence of conductive nanomaterials. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 July 2018.
All research outputs
#13,339,171
of 23,498,099 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Microbiology
#9,612
of 25,939 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#160,405
of 328,541 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Microbiology
#327
of 721 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,498,099 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 25,939 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,541 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 721 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its contemporaries.
