Reproducible, high-yielding, biological caproate production from food waste using a single-phase anaerobic reactor system
(BMC (part of Springer Nature), 2018-03-11)
Background: Nowadays, the vast majority of chemicals are either synthesised from fossil fuels or are extracted from agricultural commodities. However, these production approaches are not environmentally and economically ...
Systems-based approaches to unravel multi-species microbial community functioning
(Research Network of Computational and Structural Biotechnology, 2014-12-03)
Some of the most transformative discoveries promising to enable the resolution of this century's grand societal
challenges will most likely arise from environmental science and particularly environmental microbiology ...
Low-temperature anaerobic digestion is associated with differential methanogenic protein expression
(Oxford University Press, 2015-04-09)
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an attractive wastewater treatment technology, leading to the generation of recoverable biofuel (methane). Most industrial AD applications, carry excessive heating costs, however, as AD reactors ...
Functional responses and adaptation of mesophilic microbial communities to psychrophilic anaerobic digestion
(Oxford University Press, 2015-10-27)
Psychrophilic (<20°C) anaerobic digestion (AD) represents an attractive alternative to mesophilic wastewater treatment. In order to investigate the AD microbiome response to temperature change, with particular emphasis on ...
Linking microbial community structure and function during the acidified anaerobic digestion of grass
(Frontiers Media, 2018-03-21)
Harvesting valuable bioproducts from various renewable feedstocks is necessary for the critical development of a sustainable bioeconomy. Anaerobic digestion is a well-established technology for the conversion of wastewater ...
Agricultural anaerobic digestion power plants in Ireland and Germany: policy and practice
(Wiley, 2016-08-24)
The process of anaerobic digestion (AD) is valued as a carbon-neutral energy source, while simultaneously treating organic waste, making it safer for disposal or use as a fertilizer on agricultural land. The AD process in ...
Impact of trichloroethylene exposure on the microbial diversity and protein expression in anaerobic granular biomass at 37°C and 15°C
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012-09-14)
Granular biomass from a laboratory-scale anaerobic bioreactor trial was analysed to identify changes in microbial community structure and function in response to temperature and trichloroethylene (TCE). Two bioreactors ...
