im looking for an explanation and papers in support of "co-metabolism is always intra cellular"
Co metabolism is the codegradation of two molecules at the same time. One molecule brings energy and the other one carbon. Very useful to clean up toxic products like methane by microorganisms
These metabolisms need enzymes that are present in the whole cells
Hooe thus helps
My understanding is that cometabolism is generally extra cellular. The below link provides one (of many) papers examples describing it. Hope this helps!
