Syntrophy is an essential determinant of the microbial interactome, however, the interactome network in anaerobic NAs-degrading consortia has not been previously addressed due to complexity and resistance of NAs. To evaluate the impact of electron acceptors on topology of interactome networks, we inferred two microbial interactome networks for anaerobic NAs-degrading consortia under nitrate- and sulfate-reducing conditions. The complexity of the network was higher under sulfate-reducing conditions than nitrate-reducing conditions. Differences in the taxonomic composition between the two modules implies that different potential syntrophic interactions exist in each network. We inferred the presence of the same syntrophic microorganisms, from genera Bellilinea, Longilinea, and Litorilinea, initiating the metabolism in both networks, but within each network, we predicted unique syntrophic associations that have not been reported. Electron acceptor has a large effect on the interactome networks for anaerobic NAs-degrading consortia, offers insight into an unrecognized dimension of these consortia. These results provide a novel approach for exploring potential syntrophic relationships in biodegrading processes to help cost-effectively remove NAs in oil sands tailings ponds.Background Parents of children with developmental disabilities experience greater stress and worse mental and physical health outcomes than parents of typically developing children. The use of various humor styles to cope with stressors has been associated with mental and, to a lesser extent, physical health outcomes in other populations, but has not been previously examined among parents of children with disabilities. Aims To examine relations of adaptive vs. maladaptive humor styles with depression, daily
