Syntrophomonas_wolfei
Names Syntrophomonas wolfei subsp. wolfei str. Goettingen
Accession numbers NC_008346
Background Syntrophomonas wolfei subsp. wolfei is an anaerobic bacterium that a-oxidizes short-chain saturated fatty acids, four to eight carbons in length, to acetate, propionate (from odd-numbered fatty acids), and H2 only when grown in coculture with H2-using bacteria such as methanogens. S.wolfei subsp. wolfei was the first syntroph found to grow on butyrate. (EBI Integr8)
