Nitro- and nitrooxy-organic inhibitors of methanogenesis: revealing knowledge gaps and alternate ways in bovine rumen microbiome metabolism. [PDF]
In the rumen, methanogens consume H2, generating methane and thermodynamically facilitating the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), ruminants’ main energy source.

Variations in methane emissions from dairy cows: associations with rumen microbial synergy and metabolic pathway divergence. [PDF]
Background Methane (CH4) is a metabolic by-product of rumen microbial fermentation, contributing significantly to global warming and dietary energy loss. Elucidating the mechanisms underlying natural variation in rumen methanogenesis is essential for the

Thermodynamic method for analyzing and optimizing pretreatment/anaerobic digestion systems [PDF]
This paper builds a quantitative thermodynamic model for the microbial hydrolysis process (MHP, which uses Caldicellulosiruptor bescii at 75°C for pre-digestion) for producing biogas from a 5-10% aqueous suspension of dairy manure (naturally buffered ...

Microbial methanogenesis in the sulfate-reducing zone of sediments in the Eckernförde Bay, SW Baltic Sea [PDF]
Benthic microbial methanogenesis is a known source of methane in marine systems. In most sediments, the majority of methanogenesis is located below the sulfate-reducing zone, as sulfate reducers outcompete methanogens for the major substrates hydrogen

A variety of substrates for methanogenesis
The number of methanogenesis substrates known to date has increased more than six-fold since the late 80s, bringing to 152 the number of proven substrates for methanogenesis, plus 41 putative substrates predicted on the basis of ‘omic’ and biochemical ...

IntroductionAnaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is hypothesized to occur through reverse hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis in marine sediments because sulfate reducers pull hydrogen concentrations so low that reverse hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis is ...

Microbial methane formation in deep aquifers associated with the sediment burial history at a coastal site [PDF]
Elucidating the mechanisms underlying microbial methane formation in subsurface environments is essential to understanding the global carbon cycle. This study examined how microbial methane formation (i.e., methanogenesis) occurs in natural-gas-bearing ...

Microplastics and nanoplastics are emerging pollutants that substantially influence biological element cycling in natural ecosystems. Plastics are also prevalent in sewage, and they accumulate in waste‐activated sludge (WAS).

Methyl fluoride affects methanogenesis rather than community composition of methanogenic archaea in a rice field soil. [PDF]
The metabolic pathways of methane formation vary with environmental conditions, but whether this can also be linked to changes in the active archaeal community structure remains uncertain. Here, we show that the suppression of aceticlastic methanogenesis
