Extremophiles, notably archaea and bacteria, offer a good platform for treating industrial
waste streams that were previously perceived as hostile to the model organisms in microbial …

Stoichiometric control of input substrate (glucose) and native soil organic C (SOC)
mineralization was assessed by performing a manipulation experiment based on N or P …

Foaming negatively affects anaerobic digestion of food waste (FW). To identify the causes of
foaming, reactor performance and microbial community dynamics were investigated in three …

Phenotypic and phylogenetic studies were performed on new isolates of a novel Gram-stain-
positive, anaerobic, non-sporulating, rod-shaped bacterium isolated from a thermophilic …

The urbanization and industrialization of cities around the coastal region of the Bohai Sea
have produced large amounts of sewage sludge from sewage treatment plants. Research …

Anaerobic digestion of chicken manure (CM) with high nitrogen content is easily suffered
inhibition of ammonia, especially under thermophilic and high organic loading rate (OLR) …

The feasibility and performance of hydrogen production from paper sludge without
inoculation was investigated under thermophilic conditions. The maximum hydrogen …

Landfills are considered an anthropogenic source of arsenic (As). The As species mediated
by microbes in landfills vary significantly in toxicity. Based on random matrix theory, 16S …

Strictly anaerobic bacterial strains (FH052T and SN021T) belonging to clostridial cluster
XIVa were isolated from a methanogenic reactor. Cells of the two strains were Gram-stain …

Background To elucidate biogas microbial communities and processes, the application of
high-throughput DNA analysis approaches is becoming increasingly important …
