Refuse decomposition in landfills is a microbially mediated process that occurs primarily
under anaerobic conditions. Because of limited moisture conditions, hydraulic transport as a …

Landfills are the final repository for most of the discarded material from human society and
its “built environments.” Microorganisms subsequently degrade this discarded material in the …

The decomposition of landfilled refuse proceeds through distinct phases, each defined by
varying environmental factors such as volatile fatty acid concentration, pH, and substrate …

Municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills are the most prevalent waste disposal method and
constitute one of the largest sources of anthropogenic methane emissions in the world …

Little is known about the archaeal and the bacterial diversities in a landfill during different
phases of decomposition. In this study, the archaeal and the bacterial diversities of Laogang …

Population development of key groups of bacteria involved in municipal refuse conversion to
methane was measured from the time of initial incubation through the onset of methane …

A 16S rDNA-based molecular study was performed to determine the nature of the bacterial
constituents of the leachate from a closed municipal solid waste landfill. Total community …

We analyzed the phylogenetic composition of bacterial community in the effluent leachate of
a full-scale recirculating landfill using a culture-independent molecular approach. 16S rRNA …

Little is known regarding how bacterial communities assemble at landfill, as well as how the
environment shapes the composition of bacterial community. In this study, up to 42 refuse …
