This repository contains information for understanding the ecology, evolution and physiology of the syntrophic partnership that mediates sulfate-coupled anaerobic oxidation of methane. This partnership is an obligate syntrophic association between anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate reducing bacteria. We aim to provide the following resources particularly to investigate the synytrophic SRB partner of ANME:-
- Gene trees for proteins predicted to be important in the syntrophic SRB for partnership with anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME)
- HMMs for some proteins involved in extracellular electron transfer in the syntrophic SRB
