ABSTRACT Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have emerged as one of the most critical drivers of climate change; this is primarily due to high concentrations and long atmospheric life of carbon dioxide (CO2). For a significant amount of time, various biological processes such as microalgal cultivation, cyanobacterial systems, photosynthetic microorganisms ...

Methane emissions from fresh dairy cattle and pig slurry
Abstract During manure storage, methane (CH4) is produced by anaerobic decomposition of organic matter by methanogens. Frequent removal and further processing of manure from the barn can reduce CH4 emissions. However, little is known about how much CH4 is lost during the adaptation of methanogens to the changing environment from the gut to storage. The

Development of electroactive and anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (Anammox) biofilms from digestate in microbial fuel cells [PDF]
Microbial Fuel cells (MFCs) have been proposed for nutrient removal and energy recovery from different wastes. In this study the anaerobic digestate was used to feed H-type MFC reactors, one with a graphite anode preconditioned with Geobacter ...

Abstract Agricultural soils are sources of nitrous oxide (N2O) and, under prolonged saturation, methane (CH4)—two potent greenhouse gases (GHGs). Soil management, field topography, and climate all influence GHG emissions, yet their interactions are not well understood.

Reusing organic waste materials, such as animal manure, as soil amendments reduces water and fertiliser demand, contributing to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, organic wastes may contain contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), posing potential ecosystem and human health risks. Despite the importance of this issue, there is a lack

Abstract Natural polymers are promising sustainable materials for diverse applications. Xylans, major components of hemicellulose, exhibit origin‐dependent substitution patterns that determine their physicochemical properties. Targeted enzymatic modification of these substituents offers a mild and precise approach for tailoring the polymer's ...
