Syntrophomonas zehnderi explained

Syntrophomonas zehnderi is a bacterium. It is anaerobic, syntrophic (in association with methanogens, particularly Methanobacterium formicicum) and fatty acid-oxidizing. The type strain is OL-4^T (=DSM 17840^T =JCM 13948^T). Cells are slightly curved, non-motile rods.^[1]
