A Review on the Interspecies Electron Transfer of Methane Production in Anaerobic Digestion System
Anaerobic methanogenesis plays an important role in the sustainable management of high concentration organic wastewater and bioenergy recovery. Interspecies electron transfer (IET) is a new type of mutualistic symbiosis that can accelerate microbial ...

Direct inhibition of methanogenesis by ferric iron [PDF]
Observed inhibition of methanogenesis under Fe(III)-reducing conditions is usually explained by competition of methanogens and Fe(III)-reducing bacteria for the common substrates acetate and hydrogen. However, substrate competition alone cannot explain the strong inhibition of methanogenesis during Fe(III)-reduction. We demonstrate direct inhibition of

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the inhibitory effect of chemicals on methane emissions in paddy soil. We found that (4-hydroxyphenyl) chloromethanesulfonate (C-1) has a methanogenic inhibition activity, and we studied its inhibition mechanism using laboratory tests.

Recovery of Energy and Carbon Dioxide from Craft Brewery Wastes for Onsite Use
Interest in craft beers is increasing worldwide due to their flavor and variety. However, craft breweries have high water, energy, and carbon dioxide (CO2) demands and generate large quantities of high-strength waste and greenhouse gases.

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.

Inhibition of methanogenesis by chlorophenols: a kinetic approach
Chlorophenols exert a crucial effect on the methanogenesis, considerably reducing both maximum methane potential and methanogenic rates. However, there is not enough information about the kinetic mechanism of chlorophenols toxicity on the methanogenesis, which is a key aspect for the control of the anaerobic digesters because of the sensitivity and the

Inhibition of methanogenesis and carbon metabolism in Methanosarcina sp. by cyanide [PDF]
NaCN was tested for its inhibitory effects on growth of and metabolism by Methanosarcina barkeri 227. NaCN (10 microM) inhibited catabolism of acetate methyl groups to CH4 and CO2 but did not inhibit methanogenesis from methanol, CO2, methylamine, or trimethylamine.

The glucan-rich fraction, hemicellulosic compounds-rich fraction, and a mixture of both fractions obtained from organosolv pretreatment of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) were used as substrates to produce volatile fatty acids (VFAs) in acidogenic ...

Inhibition of Rumen Methanogenesis by Methane Analogues [PDF]
Extremely low concentrations of chloroform and carbon tetrachloride and somewhat larger concentrations of methylene chloride inhibited the formation of methane by the rumen microbiota in the presence or absence of added substrate. The accumulation of hydrogen at these low concentrations indicates a selective inhibition of methanogenesis.
