Cross-Feeding between Members of Thauera spp. and Rhodococcus spp. Drives Quinoline-Denitrifying Degradation in a Hypoxic Bioreactor

We experimentally verified that the second most abundant taxon, Rhodococcus, played a role in degrading quinoline to 2-hydroxyquinoline, while the most abundant taxon, Thauera, degraded 2-hydroxyquinoline. Metabolites from Thauera further served to provide metabolites for Rhodococcus. Hence, an ecol...
