Microbial communities play important roles in soil health, contributing to processes such as
the turnover of organic matter and nutrient cycling. As soil edaphic properties such as …

Food waste (FW) is rich in starch, fat, protein and cellulose. It is easy to decay and brings
environmental pollution and other social problems. FW shows a high potential to produce …

The application of phylogenetic taxonomic procedures led to improvements in the
classification of bacteria assigned to the phylum Actinobacteria but even so there remains a …

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant natural resource with high biomethane
potential. However, complex structure of lignocellulosic biomass has hampered the efficient …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a widely applied technology for treating organic wastes to
generate renewable energy in the form of biogas. The effectiveness of AD process depends …

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is promising for the conversion of biowaste into biofuels, but
the energy recovery from the HTL aqueous phase (HTL-AP) by anaerobic digestion is …

It is now clear that several of the filamentous bacteria in activated sludge wastewater
treatment plants globally, are members of the phylum Chloroflexi. They appear to be more …

Interspecies electron transfer between bacteria and archaea plays a vital role in enhancing
energy efficiency of anaerobic digestion (AD). Conductive carbon materials (ie graphene …

The efficiency of microbial electron transfer is fundamental for determining the performance
of fermentative hydrogen/methane production. To facilitate microbial electron transfer …

Background Sediments are massive reservoirs of carbon compounds and host a large
fraction of microbial life. Microorganisms within terrestrial aquifer sediments control buried …
