Journal ArticleDOI
Growth of Syntrophic Propionate-Oxidizing Bacteria with Fumarate in the Absence of Methanogenic Bacteria
TL;DR: When the methanogens in a newly enriched propionate-oxidizing methanogenic culture were inhibited by bromoethanesulfonate, fumarate could act as an apparent terminal electron acceptor in Propionate oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chain elongation in anaerobic reactor microbiomes to recover resources from waste.
TL;DR: Three different microbial pathways can elongate the carbon chains of molecules in open cultures of microbial populations under anaerobic conditions, leading to more energy-dense and insoluble products (e.g. easier to separate from solution).
Book ChapterDOI
Biomethanation and its potential
Irini Angelidaki,Dimitar Borisov Karakashev,Damien J. Batstone,Caroline M. Plugge,Alfons J. M. Stams +4 more
TL;DR: Biomethanation has strong potential for the production of energy from organic residues and wastes and will help to reduce the use of fossil fuels and thus reduce CO(2) emission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinctive properties of high hydrogen producing extreme thermophiles, Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus and Thermotoga elfii
E.W.J. van Niel,M.A.W. Budde,G.G. de Haas,F.J. van der Wal,P.A.M. Claassen,Alfons J. M. Stams +5 more
TL;DR: Both yeast extract and tryptone were required by T. eli, and appeared to function as sources of carbon, nitrogen and energy, and in the absence of tryPTone converted 26% of the glucose to another by-product, resulting in a lower yield of hydrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interspecies electron transfer in methanogenic propionate degrading consortia.
TL;DR: Evidence accumulates that formate plays an even more important role in the conversion of propionate in obligate syntrophic consortia of acetogenic proton- and bicarbonate reducing bacteria and methanogenic archaea.
