Low Substrate Loading Limits Methanogenesis and Leads to High Coulombic Efficiency in Bioelectrochemical Systems

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2016
A crucial aspect for the application of bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) as a wastewater treatment technology is the efficient oxidation of complex substrates by the bioanode, which is reflected in high Coulombic efficiency (CE).

Microbial Community Restructuring Under Zinc Oxide Nanoparticle Stress in Membrane Bioreactors

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Long‐term ZnO nanoparticle exposure induced extracellular stress responses and restructured microbial communities, with reduced taxonomic and phylogenetic richness and loss of key nitrogen‐transforming taxa. These ecological changes were accompanied by impaired nitrification, demonstrating that prolonged ZnO exposure can compromise the functional ...

Transplanting the pathway engineering toolbox to methanogens.

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Biotechnology, 2019
Biological methanogenesis evolved early in Earth's history and was likely already a major process by 3.5 Ga. Modern methanogenesis is now a key process in virtually all anaerobic microbial communities, such as marine and lake sediments, wetland and rice ...

Electroactive Microbiomes: Electron Transfer Mechanisms and Environmental Biotechnology Applications

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Electroactive microbiomes couple direct, mediated, conductive, and interspecies electron transfer with biofilm organisation to drive wastewater treatment, bioremediation, resource recovery, carbon conversion, and biosensing. Their performance depends on balancing electron transfer, mass transport, community structure, and electrode–biofilm interactions

Evidence of Archaeal Methanogens in Brain Abscess

open access: yes, 2017
International audienceBackground. Methanogens are antibiotic-resistant anaerobic archaea that escape routine detection in clinical microbiology. We hypothesized that methanogens are part of the anaerobic community that cause brain abscess.

Water Table and Vegetation Shape Peatland CO2 and CH4 Fluxes With Water Table Modulating Temperature Sensitivity

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 10, October 2026.
Using 14,643 chamber observations from 285 peatland sites, we found that wetter conditions were associated with higher CH4 emissions but lower ecosystem respiration and combined CO2‐equivalent emissions. Apparent CH4 temperature sensitivity also increased with water‐table level, suggesting that fixed Q10 values may misrepresent warming responses ...

Methanogens and methanogenesis in hypersaline environments

open access: yes, 2010
Methanogenesis in hypersaline environments is determined by redox potential and permanency of anaerobic conditions, and by the concentration of other terminal electron acceptors, particularly sulfate, because sulfate-reducing bacteria have a greater ...

Application of MootralTM Reduces Methane Production by Altering the Archaea Community in the Rumen Simulation Technique

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The reduction of methane emissions by ruminants is a highly desirable goal to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Various feed additives have already been tested for their ability to decrease methane production; however, practical use is often limited due
