Characteristics of Methane Emissions and Practical Mitigation Strategies in Rice Paddy Fields [PDF]
대한환경공학회지Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas primarily emitted from flooded rice paddies under anaerobic soil conditions. As global food demand increases, CH4 emissions from rice cultivation are expected to rise, emphasizing the urgent need to establish ...

Enumeration, identification and characterisation of methanogens colonising pre-ruminant calves : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2007 Methane-producing archaea, methanogens, in ruminant animals are a major source of anthropogenic methane. With a global warming potential 23 times greater than carbon dioxide, methane has been targeted for reduction under the Kyoto protocol.

Temperature effects on methanogenesis and sulfidogenesis during anaerobic digestion of sulfur-rich macroalgal biomass in sequencing batch reactors [PDF]
, 2019 Methanogenesis and sulfidogenesis, the major microbial reduction reactions occurring in the anaerobic digestion (AD) process, compete for common substrates.

Ensiling and Fermentation of Rice Hulls With Ruminal Fluid for Medium‐Chain Carboxylate Production
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Large quantities of rice hulls are common at milling sites in Nigeria. They are a by‐product of rice processing and can contribute to environmental degradation if not properly managed. In this study, rice hulls were pretreated by ensiling at ambient temperature and then used as substrate for medium‐chain carboxylates (MCCs) production ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Many anaerobic ciliated protozoa contain organelles of mitochondrial ancestry called hydrogenosomes. These organelles generate molecular hydrogen that is consumed by methanogenic Archaea, living in endosymbiosis within many of these ciliates.

Cryptic Methane-Cycling by Methanogens During Multi-Year Incubation of Estuarine Sediment
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 As marine sediments are buried, microbial communities transition from sulfate-reduction to methane-production after sulfate is depleted. When this biogenic methane diffuses into the overlying sulfate-rich sediments, it forms a sulfate-methane transition ...

Microbial degradation of dimethylsulphide and related C1-sulphur compounds: organisms and pathways controlling fluxes of sulphur in the biosphere [PDF]
, 2010 Dimethylsulphide (DMS) plays a major role in the global sulphur cycle. It has important implications for atmospheric chemistry, climate regulation, and sulphur transport from the marine to the atmospheric and terrestrial environments.

Methane Generation Using an Anaerobic Biodigester From Waste Leachate Water
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Leachate wastewater (LWW) is characterized by slow biodegradation and low biogas production due to resistant materials and limited biological activity. Therefore, applying pretreatments is essential to improving biodegradation potential, which consequently boosts energy recovery.
