Relating Anaerobic Digestion Microbial Community and Process Function [PDF]
, 2016 Anaerobic digestion (AD) involves a consortium of microorganisms that convert substrates into biogas containing methane for renewable energy. The technology has suffered from the perception of being periodically unstable due to limited understanding of ...

Repeated pulse feeding induces functional stability in anaerobic digestion [PDF]
, 2013 Anaerobic digestion is an environmental key technology in the future bio-based economy. To achieve functional stability, a minimal microbial community diversity is required. This microbial community should also have a certain “elasticity”, i.e.

Metabolic Adaptation of Methanogens in Anaerobic Digesters Upon Trace Element Limitation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a complex multi-stage process relying on the activity of highly diverse microbial communities including hydrolytic, acidogenic and syntrophic acetogenic bacteria as well as methanogenic archaea.

Necessity of electrically conductive pili for methanogenesis with magnetite stimulation [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background Magnetite-mediated direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between Geobacter and Methanosarcina species is increasingly being invoked to explain magnetite stimulation of methane production in anaerobic soils and sediments.

Nitrogenase in the archaebacterium Methanosarcina barkeri 227 [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1990 The discovery of nitrogen fixation in the archaebacterium Methanosarcina barkeri 227 raises questions concerning the similarity of archaebacterial nitrogenases to Mo and alternative nitrogenases in eubacteria. A scheme for achieving a 20- to 40-fold partial purification of nitrogenase components from strain 227 was developed by using protamine sulfate ...
