A microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is a promising technology for enhancing biogas
production from an anaerobic digestion (AD) reactor. In this study, the effects of the MEC on …

The previous chapters have shown that the rumen harbours a large number of different
species of bacteria, phycomycete fungi and protozoa. Metabolic interactions between these …

This is a book about the natural history of oxygen-free environments and their microbial
inhabitants. Life originated in the pre-oxic world, and anoxic conditions still persist in many …

The methanogenic bacteria are a large and diverse group that is united by three features: 1)
They form large quantities of methane as the major product of their energy metabolism. 2) …

Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) are being studied to improve the efficiency of anaerobic
digesters and biogas production. In the present study, we investigated the effects of …

During the era of prebiotic evolution, which culminated in the appearance of cellular life
forms, the earth had a reducing atmosphere. Fueled by volcanic activity and by magmatic …

Olive mill wastewater, a by-product of olive oil production after the operation of three-phase
decanters, was used in a thermophilic anaerobic digester targeting efficient bioconversion of …
