Simple yet effective: microbial and biotechnological benefits of rumen liquid addition to lignocellulose-degrading biogas plants

M Nagler, K Kozjek, M Etemadi, H Insam… - Journal of …, 2019 - Elsevier
In biogas plants, lignocellulose-rich biomass (LCB) is particularly slowly degraded, causing
high hydraulic retention times. This fact lowers the interests for such substrates. To enhance …

Soil microbial communities along elevational gradients in the Madrean Sky Islands

A Martinez, G Schiro, A Barberán - Environmental Microbiology, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Madrean Sky Islands are mountain ranges isolated by a 'desert sea'. This area
is a biodiversity hotspot currently threatened by climate change. Here, we studied soil …
