Syntrophy
Syntrophy describes the socialized way of life of different organisms (mixed societies), each of which mutually produce certain metabolic products for the other partner and thus interdependent. Syntrophic organisms are for example the yeast Rhodotorula rubra and the fungus Mucor ramannianus . Some methanogens are also dependent on the hydrogen of neighboring bacteria , whereas the other way round, those bacteria can only grow if this hydrogen is consumed by the methanogens.
The intracellular transfer of hydrogen during homoacetate fermentation is called “syntrophy within a single cell” .
