Indeed, given the type of microzone in which an acetogen would likely prefer in a habitat like soil, the best nonacetogenic partner would be a microaerophile.

The researchers concluded: "Results in this study suggest that E. coli excretes and scavenges acetate simultaneously in the carbon-limited low growth condition and in nonacetogenic carbon source, and the activity of the acetate consumption pathway directly affects the accumulation level of acetate in the cluture broth."

Though beyound the scope of this chapter, it should be mentioned that nonacetogenic bacteria (e.g., sulfate-reducing bacteria) and members of the domain Archaea (e.g., methanogens) use metabolic pathways that are very similar to the acetyl-CoA pathway for either the assimilation of CO2 (i.e., carbon) into biomass or the oxidation of acetate [64,64]; thus, the acetyl-CoA pathway is not restricted to acetogens and has broad biological significance [49].
