Strictly anaerobic, acetogenic (acetate-forming) bacteria are characterized by a reductive
pathway in which two mol of CO 2 are reduced to one mol of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl …

The poultry industry is a fast-growing industry fuelled by overwhelming customer demand. Of
the different poultry meat options, chicken is arguably the most popular as it is the second …

Ammonia released from the degradation of protein and/or urea usually leads to suboptimal
anaerobic digestion (AD) when N-rich organic waste is used. However, the insights behind …

Acetogenic bacteria are already established as biocatalysts for production of high‐value
compounds from C1 substrates such as H2+ CO2 or CO. However, little is known about the …

Methyl groups are abundant in anoxic environments and their utilization as carbon and
