Methane Generation Using an Anaerobic Biodigester From Waste Leachate Water
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Leachate wastewater (LWW) is characterized by slow biodegradation and low biogas production due to resistant materials and limited biological activity. Therefore, applying pretreatments is essential to improving biodegradation potential, which consequently boosts energy recovery.

Dechlorination of Chloroform by Methanosarcina Strains [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1990 Dehalogenation of carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and bromoform in pure cultures of Methanosarcina sp. strain DCM and Methanosarcina mazei S6 was demonstrated. The initial dechlorination product of chloroform was methylene chloride (dichloromethane), which accumulated transiently to about ...

Trace elements induce predominance among methanogenic activity in anaerobic digestion
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 Trace elements play an essential role in all organisms due to their functions in enzyme complexes. In anaerobic digesters, control and supplementation of trace elements lead to stable and more efficient methane production processes while trace element ...

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Advancements in biofuel production technologies are essential for reducing global dependence on fossil fuels and addressing their overexploitation. Many valuable components of biomass, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, remain underused in traditional biorefineries, which typically rely on a single feedstock to produce a primary ...

Mining Proteomic Data to Expose Protein Modifications in Methanosarcina mazei strain Gö1
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Proteomic tools identify constituents of complex mixtures, often delivering long lists of identified proteins. The high-throughput methods excel at matching tandem mass spectrometry data to spectra predicted from sequence databases.

Effect of Nickel Levels on Hydrogen Partial Pressure and Methane Production in Methanogens. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Hydrogen (H2) consumption and methane (CH4) production in pure cultures of three different methanogens were investigated during cultivation with 0, 0.2 and 4.21 μM added nickel (Ni).

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Heteromeric cis‐prenyltransferases (CPT) are indispensable for dolichol synthesis and protein N‐glycosylation in most eukaryotes. The catalytic subunits are strongly conserved throughout evolution, in contrast to the evolutionarily variable accessory subunits. The POC1 protein from Paramecium tetraurelia is the smallest identified CPT‐accessory subunit

S-layer, Surface-Accessible, and Concanavalin A Binding Proteins of Methanosarcina acetivorans and Methanosarcina mazei [PDF]
Journal of Proteome Research, 2009 The outermost cell envelope structure of many archaea and bacteria contains a proteinaceous lattice termed the surface layer or S-layer. It is typically composed of only one or two abundant, often posttranslationally modified proteins that self-assemble to form the highly organized arrays.

Non-autotrophic methanogens dominate in anaerobic digesters
Scientific Reports, 2017 Anaerobic digesters are man-made habitats for fermentative and methanogenic microbes, and are characterized by extremely high concentrations of organics. However, little is known about how microbes adapt to such habitats.
