Thermodynamics and H2 Transfer in a Methanogenic, Syntrophic Community
Fig 5
Predicted community by-product yields by the coculture at a dilution rate of 0.05 days-1.
The plot shows the yields of acetate, H2, CO2, and CH4 for the entire reactor (per propionate) as a function of the relative biomass ratio of M. hungatei to S. fumaroxidans (X-axis). As in Fig 4, formate could be exchanged in the place of CO2 and H2.
