Abstract Anaerobic digestion can be an alternative method for treating wastewater from second‐generation biorefineries while simultaneously producing biogas. However, the feasibility of the process and key operational parameters by which wastewater produced in lignocellulosic biorefineries affects reactor performance remain poorly understood.

Diel Patterns in the Composition and Activity of Planktonic Microbes in a Subtropical Bay
Planktonic microbes play a crucial role in the matter transformation and energy transfer of marine ecosystems. Marine microbial communities are profoundly influenced by various environmental factors, and their variations are typically investigated in a ...

Ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) of the phylum Thaumarchaeota are widespread in moderate environments but their occurrence and activity has also been demonstrated in hot springs. Here we present the first enrichment of a thermophilic representative with a

Abstract The search for alternative and sustainable energy sources becomes urgent as energy demand increases and fossil fuels become less available, especially in water‐scarce regions such as the Brazilian semi‐arid region, where current projections of global warming and the expansion of arid and semi‐arid zones point to a future of desertification ...

Abstract This study hypothesizes that cashew apple bagasse‐based anaerobic digestion, combined with biochar purification, enhances biogas quality and sustainability. This study aims to investigate the performance and sustainability of a biochar‐based biogas purification technology using cashew apple bagasse as a substrate, with a focus on environmental

Diversity and Spatial Distribution of Prokaryotic Communities Along A Sediment Vertical Profile of A Deep-Sea Mud Volcano Maria G. Pachiadaki & Argyri Kallionaki [PDF]
We investigated the top 30-cm sediment prokaryotic community structure in 5-cm spatial resolution, at an active site of the Amsterdam mud volcano, East Mediterranean Sea, based on the 16S rRNA gene diversity.

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) to treat domestic sewage by removing organic matter and nutrients while producing biogas. AnMBRs combine anaerobic digestion with membrane filtration, and stand out for their low energy consumption, low sludge production and potential for ...

Abstract In the classroom, metabolism is often approached and received as a mundane exercise in memorization. Teaching metabolism also faces the challenge of negative perceptions that can impede learning. We sought to improve the learning experience in an undergraduate lecture course on microbial metabolism by implementing an illustrated story that ...

Identification of novel components of the Ced and Ups systems in Saccharolobus islandicus REY15A
In Sulfolobales cells, transcription of the Ups (UV‐inducible pili of Sulfolobus) and Ced (Crenarchaeal system for exchange of DNA) genes is highly induced by DNA damage, and the two systems play key roles in pili‐mediated cell aggregation and ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.
