Wastewater biosolids are a promising feedstock for production of value-added renewable chemicals. Methane-producing archaea (methanogens) are already used to produce renewable biogas via the anaerobic treatment of wastewater.

Effect of ammonium and acetate on methanogenic pathway and methanogenic community composition [PDF]
Methanogenesis from acetate (aceticlastic methanogenesis or syntrophic acetate oxidation (SAO) coupled with hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis) is the most important step for the biogas process. The major environmental factors influencing methanogenesis are volatile fatty acids, ammonia, pH, and temperature. In our study, the effect of acetate and ammonia

Evolving understanding of rumen methanogen ecophysiology
Production of methane by methanogenic archaea, or methanogens, in the rumen of ruminants is a thermodynamic necessity for microbial conversion of feed to volatile fatty acids, which are essential nutrients for the animals. On the other hand, methane is a

Evidence for a plasmid in a methanogenic bacterium [PDF]
Among 15 strains of methanogens, one plasmid, pMP1, was identified in the new coccoid isolate PL-12/M. It could not be detected in the cleared lysate, but it was detected in the viscous pellet. The plasmid had a molecular weight of ca. 4.6 x 10(6). A restriction enzyme cleavage map of the cloned plasmid was derived.

Exploring rumen methanogen genomes to identify targets for methane mitigation strategies [PDF]
Methane emissions from ruminant livestock is generated by the action of methanogenic archaea, mainly in the rumen. A variety of methanogen genera are responsible for CH4 production, including a large group that lacks cultivated representatives.

Methanogens capable of accepting electrons from Fe0 cause severe corrosion in anoxic conditions. In previous studies, all iron-corrosive methanogenic isolates were obtained from marine environments.

Methanogens, reductive acetogens and sulfate-reducing bacteria play an important role in disposing of hydrogen in gut ecosystems. However, how they interact with each other remains largely unknown. This in vitro study cocultured Blautia hydrogenotrophica

Bromeliad catchments as habitats for methanogenesis in tropical rainforest canopies
Tropical epiphytic plants within the family Bromeliaceae are unusual in that they possess foliage capable of retaining water and impounded material. This creates an acidic (pH 3.5-6.5) and anaerobic (< 1 ppm O2) environment suspended in the canopy ...

Gut Methanogen MAGs from Singapore [PDF]
<p>Methanogenic Archaea (methanogens) are a phylogenetically diverse group of microorganisms and are considered to be the most abundant archaeal representatives in the human gut.
