The inhibition of the anaerobic digestion (AD) process, caused by long chain fatty acids
(LCFAs), has been considered as an important issue in the wastewater treatment sector …

Syntrophy is an essential intermediary step in the anaerobic conversion of organic matter to
methane where metabolically distinct microorganisms are tightly linked by the need to …

The Euryarchaeota comprise both methanogenic and nonmethanogenic orders and many
lineages of uncultivated archaea with unknown properties. One of these deep-branching …

Several problems associated with the presence of lipids in wastewater treatment plants are
usually overcome by removing them ahead of the biological treatment. However, because of …

The position of high‐rate anaerobic technology (HR‐AnWT) in the wastewater treatment and
bioenergy market can be enhanced if the range of suitable substrates is expanded …

Microbial communities play an essential role in the biochemical pathways of anaerobic
digestion processes. The correlations between microorganisms' relative abundance and …

Biogenic formation of methane from coal is of great interest as an underexploited source of
clean energy. The goal of some coal bed producers is to extend coal bed methane …

Background Oleaginous microalgae contain a high level of lipids, which can be extracted
and converted to biofuel. The lipid-extracted residue can then be further utilized through …

Syntrophic relationships are the key for biodegradation in methanogenic environments. We
review the ecological and physiological features of syntrophic communities involved in the …

Anaerobic digestion technology is the biological treatment of organic waste and wastewater
without input of external electron acceptors (oxygen), offering the potential to reduce …
