Additional file 1 of Integrating metagenomic binning with flux balance analysis to unravel syntrophies in anaerobic CO2 methanation

Additional file 1. Supplementary material. The genomes of the two most abundant species were independently assembled, their scaffolds were ordered by manual curation, and their closed chromosomes were drawn using Artemis [1]. The same software (parameters: windows size 10,000 bp and step size 200 bp) was also used to determine the GC content and the GC skew. The COG annotation was converted to “EMBL” format using in-house Perl scripts and added to the graphical representation in “gff” format reporting the gene positions predicted by Prodigal. COG codes assigned to the proteins were used to color the genes ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/research/cog ). The reconstruction of the five most abundant species metabolisms were also performed to investigate their role within the community. The reconstruction was performed from KEGG codes obtained using eggNOG mapper. The resulting networks were visually inspected in KEGG database using KEGG Mapper – Color Pathway, and results are depicted in Figures S5-S9. Table S1. Reactors pH, VFA, dissolved H2 concentration (H2l) and H2 transfer coefficient (kLa) under steady state conditions at period IV. Descriptive biochemical data of the analyzed phase were collected in a previous work and are reported here [2]. Table S2. Reactors' performances under steady state conditions at period 6. QOUT represents the total gas output rate [L/LR.d] and QOUT,T the total theoretical gas output rate [L/LR.d]. As described by Bassani et al. PCH4 indicates the CH4 production rate, YCH4 the CH4 yield, nH2 and nCO2 the hydrogen and CO2 conversion efficiency, respectively [2]. Figure S1.
