Electron Acceptors Influence Protist Growth Dynamics In An Anaerobic Microbial Consortium
Breviates are free-living, heterotrophic, anaerobic or microaerophilic amoeboflagellate protists, closely related to Opisthokonta. They possess hydrogenosomes, a subtype of anaerobically functioning, hydrogen-producing mitochondrion-related organelle, and the breviate Lenisia limosa has been reported to facultatively establish hydrogenotrophic syntrophy with Arcobacter. We believe that the interac
