Popis: Anaerobic microorganisms can oxidize short-chain gaseous alkanes such as ethane, propane and butane using sulfate as electron acceptor. Here, the authors show that a bioreactor enrichment of a wastewater microbial community can perform anaerobic propane oxidation coupled to nitrate reduction.
