Energy from food [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2017
Expressing the energy content of food as the heat energy released by its combustion is potentially misleading. Food is used to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The free energy of conversion of ATP into adenosine diphosphate is used directly for processes such as muscular contraction, without the need for intermediate heat production. The number of

Purple nonsulfur bacteria biomass as a potential biofuel source: A study of lipid characterization methods using gas chromatography

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Wastewater treatment with purple nonsulfur bacteria (PNSB) is an emerging biotechnology for sustainable wastewater management and resource recovery. Previous studies in this field have concentrated on microbial protein potential; however, this study examines the lipid recovery potential of PNSB‐dominated mixed culture biomass derived from gas ...

Enhanced Methane Production from Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Wheat Straw and Herbal-Extraction Process Residues

open access: yesBioResources, 2015
The efficient biosynthesis of methane from renewable biomass resources is discussed in this paper. Herbal-extraction process residues (HPR) are an excellent raw material for anaerobic digestion because of their abundant trace elements and fermentation ...

Hybrid Control of a Bioreactor with Quantized Measurements: Extended Version [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
We consider the problem of global stabilization of an unstable bioreactor model (e.g. for anaerobic digestion), when the measurements are discrete and in finite number ("quantized"), with control of the dilution rate. The model is a differential system with two variables, and the output is the biomass growth.

Digestate from small‐scale biogas plants in central Vietnam produced under mesophilic conditions: friend or foe for local farmers?

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates the suitability of digestate from small mesophilic biogas plants in central Vietnam for agricultural application. Digestate samples were collected from 85 farms and analyzed for microbial contamination and elemental composition.

Application of enzymes in anaerobic digestion

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 2007
Owing to the very low economic value of brewer's spent grains, its utilisation for biogas production is very promising. The hydrolysis of ligno-cellulose is the rate limiting step in anaerobic digestion. Enzymatic pre-treatment promotes the hydrolysis of ligno-cellulose, breaking it down to lower molecular weight substances which are ready to be ...

Design of conventional batch distillation of anaerobic digestate to isolate ammonium bicarbonate considering non‐ideal mixture behavior

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Anaerobic digestate is a byproduct of biogas production and it is suitable for use as fertilizer. Ammonia and carbon dioxide provide the anaerobic digestate with buffer capacity and these compounds are responsible for the regulation of the pH of this soil organic amendment.

Small Intestine on a Chip Demonstrates Physiologic Mucus Secretion in the Presence of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus Biofilm

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Dash and coworkers have fabricated a small intestine on a chip, which encapsulates the physiology and biofilm of the small intestinal epithelium. The dynamic system showed villus differentiation within 5 days of flow, and the mucus layer and biofilm showed small intestinal characteristics.
