Always important to look beyond the traditional. What we know about microbial metabolism is only the tip of the iceberg. I bet novel electron acceptors are also present in the open environment besides the standard ones. Microbes grow on what they can!

Dietary- and host-derived metabolites are used by diverse gut bacteria for anaerobic respiration
Respiratory reductases enable microbes to utilize molecules present in anaerobic ecosystems as energy-generating respiratory electron acceptors. Here we identify three taxonomically distinct families of human gut bacteria (Burkholderiaceae, ...

The oral microbiome; a critical player. - Clubhouse
What about the microbes in our mouth and what do they do? How are they different from our gut microbiome? And what are the long term impacts on our health? Let’s discuss.
