| Research Abstract |
In our previous research, we revealed a novel phenomenon in a symbiotic cultivation of fermentative bacteria and methanogen. We identified a role of a bacterial flagellum in maintaining a symbiosis between prokaryotes, not only to ensure proximity between specific partners but also to synchronize their metabolism. The liaison between fermentative bacteria and methanogen represents a protein-mediated communication system that has specifically evolved for interspecies interactions.
