Bound phenol syntrophy to measured conversion and condition-specific electron disposal #1695

CommunityMech:000053; PMID18281436. Preserve all three positive arrows supported by coculture conversion and BES/high-H2 inhibition. Rename mineralization endpoint to aromatic conversion because acetate remains a product. Carboxylation enzymes are not demonstrated; hydrogen is supported but formate/other carriers were not excluded. AQDS bypass in BES-treated culture bounds universal methanogen dependence; pure isolation with AQDS failed. Close only after protected-main merge.
