The paper uses activity-targeted metaproteomics to study rare syntrophic bacteria in anaerobic communities, revealing their metabolic activity and a previously hypothesized oxidative glycine pathway.

This study evaluates the feasibility of expanding the product range of chain elongating bacteria to produce C9-C12 fatty acids and other derivatives using metabolic engineering and constraint-based modelling.

The paper integrates metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, and thermodynamic analyses to predict and characterize the metabolic network of an anaerobic microbiome producing medium-chain fatty acids from renewable feedstock.
