Association of methanogenic bacteria with rumen ciliates
Open accessAbstract
In 11 species of rumen ciliates belonging to nine genera of the family Ophryoscolecidae (order Entodiniomorphida) an ectosymbiosis with methanogenic bacteria was found. The bacteria could be identified as methanogens on the basis of the presence of specific fluorescent coenzymes (F350 and F420). This somatic interaction may reflect a metabolic interaction in which efficient interspecies hydrogen transfer benefits both partners.

Rumen protozoal hydrogenosomes produce H2, which serves as a substrate for methanogens to reduce CO2 to methane via the hydrogenotrophic pathway.
“rumen protozoal hydrogenosomes produce H2, which then serves as a substrate for methanogens to reduce CO2 to methane via the hydrogenotrophic pathway (Vogels et al., 1980; Belanche et al., 2014).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
