The effect of increasing the organic loading rates (OLRs) on the performance of the
anaerobic codigestion of olive mill (OMW) and abattoir wastewaters (AW) was investigated …

We report the soil microbial diversity and functional aspects related to degradation of
recalcitrant compounds, determined using a metagenomic approach, in a landfill lysimeter …

Enumeration and phenotypic characterization of aerobic cellulolytic bacteria were performed
on fresh, 1 year old and 5 years old refuse samples of a French landfill site. Numbers of …

This study characterised and compared the microbial communities of anaerobic digestion
(AD) sludge using three different methods–(1) Clone library;(2) Pyrosequencing; and (3) …

Analyses on bacterial, archaeal communities at family level and methane-production
metabolism were conducted in thirteen full-scale and pilot-scale anaerobic sludge digesters …

In the present study, the diversity of methanogenic populations was monitored for 25 days,
together with the process data for an anaerobic batch reactor treating waste-activated …

A borehole core from 20 m depth of a Japanese landfill was characterized chemically and
microbially. The borehole core sample was typically divided into 5 waste layers; 2.4–4.0 m …

Unscientific management and ad-hoc approaches in municipal solid waste management
have led to a generation of voluminous leachate in urban conglomerates. Quantification …

There have been several reports of landfills exhibiting temperatures as high as 80 to 100° C.
This observation has motivated researchers to understand the causes of the elevated …

Landfill is an important method for the treatment of municipal solid wastes. Microbes play a
central role in the biodegradation and stabilization of organic matter during landfill; however …
