Temperature plays a primary role in anaerobic digestion, since it shapes microbial
ecosystems, and consequently regulates the stability performance of anaerobic digestion …

At first glance, archaea and bacteria look alike; however, the composition of the archaeal
cell envelope is fundamentally different from the bacterial cell envelope. With just one …

Biofilms are structured and organized communities of microorganisms that represent one of
the most successful forms of life on Earth. Bacterial biofilms have been studied in great …

Anaerobic digestion (AD), a well-known technology for converting organic wastes into
renewable energy, has garnered extensive attention in both research and practical …

The detection of silica-rich dust particles, as an indication for ongoing hydrothermal activity,
and the presence of water and organic molecules in the plume of Enceladus, have made …

Methanogens are a unique group of strictly anaerobic archaea that are more metabolically

A biofilm is an assemblage, aggregation, or community of microbial cells bounded by a
polymeric matrix comprising polysaccharides that are associated with an inert or biotic …

With a rich variety of chemical energy sources and steep physical and chemical gradients,
hydrothermal vent systems offer a range of habitats to support microbial life. Cultivation …

Bioprocesses converting carbon dioxide with molecular hydrogen to methane (CH4) are
currently being developed to enable a transition to a renewable energy production system …

Archaea use a molecular machine, called the archaellum, to swim. The archaellum consists
