Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of the microbial community of the biocathode of a hydrogen-producing microbial electrolysis cell

Elsemiek Croese, +6 more
- 05 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: This work proposes a mechanism for hydrogen evolution through Desulfovibrio spp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acetate threshold values and acetate activating enzymes in methanogenic bacteria

Mike S. M. Jetten, +2 more
- 01 Jun 1990 - 
TL;DR: Although the affinity for acetate was high, the hydrogenotrophic methane bacteria were not able to remove acetate to lower concentrations than the acetoclastic methane bacteria, neither in pure cultures nor in anaerobic granular sludge samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anaerobic degradation of volatile fatty acids at different sulphate concentrations

A. Visser, +4 more
- 01 Dec 1993 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of sulfate on the anaerobic breakdown of mixtures of acetate, propionate and butyrate at three different sulfate to fatty acid ratios was studied in up-flow sludge blanket reactors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Syntrophomonas zehnderi sp. nov., an anaerobe that degrades long-chain fatty acids in co-culture with Methanobacterium formicicum.

Diana Z. Sousa, +4 more
- 01 Mar 2007 - 
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that strain OL-4(T) was most closely related to the fatty-acid-oxidizing, syntrophic bacterium Syntrophomonas sp.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-rate anaerobic treatment of wastewater at low temperatures.

Gatze Lettinga, +5 more
- 01 Apr 1999 - 
TL;DR: The specific VFA-degrading activities of the sludge in each of the modules doubled during system operation for 150 days, indicating a good enrichment of methanogens and proton-reducing acetogenic bacteria at such low temperatures.
