Zeolite stimulates the activity of microbial enrichments converting butyrate to methane [PDF]
, 2021 Conductive materials have been tested as a strategy to improve methane production (MP) in anaerobic digestion (AD) processes1,2. The effect of zeolite (0.5 g/L) towards microbial enrichments converting butyrate (10 mmol/L) to methane was investigated and

Modulation of butyrate-degrading methanogenic communities by conductive materials [PDF]
, 2021 Butyrate is a volatile fatty acid commonly present in anaerobic bioreactors. Previous research showed that methane production (MP) rates from butyrate, by lake sediment microbiomes, doubled by addition of carbon nanotubes, which was accompanied by ...

Pure cultures of hydrogenotrophic methanogens are affected by modified activated carbons, zeolite, sand and glass beads [PDF]
, 2021 The metabolism of hydrogenotrophs has been showed to be improved in the presence of carbon nanotubes, which is relevant since they are crucial microorganisms in the conversion of waste to methane1.
