Thermophilic Hadarchaeota grow on long-chain alkanes in syntrophy with methanogens by Tiantian Yu, Lin Fu, Yinzhao Wang, Yijing Dong, Yifan Chen, Gunter Wegener, Lei Cheng, Fengping Wang

“…Abstract Methanogenic hydrocarbon degradation can be carried out by archaea that couple alkane oxidation directly to methanogenesis, or by syntrophic associations of bacteria with methanogenic archaea. However, metagenomic analyses of methanogenic environments have revealed other archaea with potential for alkane degradation but apparent inability to form methane, suggesting the existence of other modes of syntrophic hydrocarbon degradation. …”
