This study identifies an alternative methylmalonyl-CoA pathway in Cloacimonadota, linking propionate degradation to poly-γ-glutamate biosynthesis and syntrophic interactions with methanogens.

The paper introduces a novel sludge treatment process called SPREAD that significantly improves organic loading rates and nutrient recovery in waste activated sludge treatment.

The paper studies how sulfate perturbations affect aceto- and hydrogeno-trophic methanogens in synthetic communities, finding differential impacts on their stability and productivity.
