From: Metaproteome analysis reveals that syntrophy, competition, and phage-host interaction shape microbial communities in biogas plants

Impact of phages on biogas processes and on the nutrition cycle in biogas plants. The microbial community consists of auxotroph microorganisms and prototroph microorganisms. Whereas prototroph microorganisms may produce vitamins, cofactors and amino acids for their growth themselves, auxotroph microorganisms require external sources for these compounds. Phage induced cell lysis of both microbial groups slows biogas processes due to the lyses of the microorganisms. However, it represents also a major source of vitamins, cofactors and amino acids for the auxotroph microorganism
