Effects of Temperature on Mercury Methylation and Demethylation in Boreal Wetland Soils

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Wetlands are critical sites for methylmercury (MeHg) production, a neurotoxin that bioaccumulates in organisms and biomagnifies in aquatic food webs. Net MeHg production in wetland soil depends on the balance between microbially mediated MeHg production and the degradation of MeHg through both microbial and abiotic pathways.

Anaerobic digestion of aliphatic polyesters

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2016
Anaerobic processes for the treatment of plastic materials waste represent versatile and effective approach in environmental protection and solid waste management. In this work, anaerobic biodegradability of model aliphatic polyesters, poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA), and poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL), in the form of powder and melt-pressed films with varying ...

A Stereospecific Lactic Acid Exclusion Biosensor for Grass Silage Fed Green Biorefinery

open access: yesMicrobial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 5, May 2026.
Grass‐silage fed green biorefineries require high‐quality grass‐silage leachates to produce high‐quality products. The steps required to create Escherichia coli based d‐ and l‐lactic acid biosensors applicable to these leachates begins by removing biosensor interference by removing catabolic pathways that correspond to compounds found in grass‐silage ...

The anaerobic digestion of sugar beet pulp

open access: yes, 2014
World-wide there are substantial quantities of sugar beet pulp, which arises as a residue after the processing of whole beet to extract sugar for refining as a foodstuff or for use in fermentation, in particular for the production of ethanol for the ...

Conversion Processes in Anaerobic Digestion

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 1983
Six different conversion processes are identified in the degradation of particulate organic material (biopolymers) to methane. Hydrolysis of particulate material is followed by the degradation of the hydrolysis and intermediary products by five independent groups of microorganisms. Process and growth kinetic data for the six processes are reviewed. The

qPCR results of semi-continuous anaerobic digestion with and without vacuum stripping of digestate

open access: yes, 2021
To avoid inhibition of ammonia on acetogenesis and methanogenesis, a small portion of in-reactor digestate can be replaced daily by vacuum stripped digestate. Vacuum stripping of ammonia may also increase methane generation.
