It is rather difficult to study syntrophic microorganisms as they cannot exist in pure form. Currently, about 10 species of such microorganisms are identified and determined, Syntrophomonas wolfei, Syntrophobacter wolinii, etc. (Li et al, 2012). 

Acetogenesis Clostridium, Syntrophomonas wolfei transform higher fatty acids or alcohols to hydrogen and acetate Syntrophomonas wolfei, Syntrophomonas wolinii convert volatile fatty acids and alcohols to acetate and hydrogen... 

Oxidation under anaerobic conditions of long-chain aliphatic carboxylic acids was established in syntrophic cultures of Clostridium bryantii / Desulfovibrio sp. (Stieb and Schink 1985), Syntrophomonas sapovorans /Methanospirillum hungatei (Roy et al. 1986), and S. wolfei in coculture with H2-utilizing anaerobic bacteria (Mclnerney et al.
