Current Perspectives on Achieving Pronounced Enteric Methane Mitigation From Ruminant Production

Frontiers in Animal Science, 2022
Limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2050 requires achieving net zero emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050 and a strong decrease in methane (CH4) emissions.

Thermodynamic modelling of synthetic communities predicts minimum free energy requirements for sulfate reduction and methanogenesis [PDF]

, 2020
Microbial communities are complex dynamical systems harbouring many species interacting together to implement higher-level functions. Among these higher-level functions, conversion of organic matter into simpler building blocks by microbial communities ...

Effects of Copper Sulfate and Encapsulated Copper Addition on In Vitro Rumen Fermentation and Methane Production

Agriculture, 2022
Copper is a microelement crucial for the proper functioning of animals’ metabolic processes. The function of copper in rumen fermentation processes and methanogenesis is not well analyzed.

Inhibition of Rumen Methanogenesis and Ruminant Productivity: A Meta-Analysis

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2018
Methane (CH4) formed in the rumen and released to the atmosphere constitutes an energy inefficiency to ruminant production. Redirecting energy in CH4 to fermentation products with a nutritional value to the host animal could increase ruminant ...

Diversity of prokaryotic microorganisms in alkaline saline soil of the Qarhan Salt Lake area in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Scientific Reports, 2022
The composition of microbial communities varies considerably across ecological environments, particularly in extreme environments, where unique microorganisms are typically used as the indicators of environmental conditions.

Organic matter supply and bacterial community composition predict methanogenesis rates in temperate lake sediments

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2019
The objective of our study was to identify environmental conditions that structure lake sediment microbial communities and determine whether community composition explained inter‐lake variation in potential methanogenesis rates.

Inhibiting Methanogenesis Stimulated de novo Synthesis of Microbial Amino Acids in Mixed Rumen Batch Cultures Growing on Starch but not on Cellulose

Microorganisms, 2020
Ameliorating methane (CH4) emissions from ruminants would have environmental benefits, but it is necessary to redirect metabolic hydrogen ([H]) toward useful sinks to also benefit animal productivity.

A multienzyme complex channels substrates and electrons through acetyl-CoA and methane biosynthesis pathways in Methanosarcina.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Multienzyme complexes catalyze important metabolic reactions in many organisms, but little is known about the complexes involved in biological methane production (methanogenesis). A crosslinking-mass spectrometry (XL-MS) strategy was employed to identify

Vertical profiles of sediment methanogenic potential and communities in two plateau freshwater lakes [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2017
Microbial methanogenesis in sediment plays a crucial role in CH4 emission from freshwater lake ecosystems. However, knowledge of the layer-depth-related changes of methanogen community structure and activities in freshwater lake sediment is still limited.
